Stunning Sèvres – at the MAAC

Sevres Bronze and Porcelain Clock
Sèvres is a type of fine porcelain characterized by elaborate decoration on backgrounds of intense color, made at Sèvres in the suburbs of Paris.

The Met has an excellent article about “Sèvres Porcelain in the Nineteenth Century” which explains the factory’s importance. It begins:

“The vast and diverse production of the Sèvres factory in the nineteenth century resists easy characterization, and its history during this period reflects many of the changes affecting French society in the years between 1800 and 1900. Among the remarkable accomplishments of the factory was the ability to stay continuously in the forefront of European ceramic production despite the myriad changes in technology, taste, and patronage that occurred during this tumultuous century.”

Our dealers have a number of Sèvres & Sèvres Style porcelain items.
