ANTIQUE #SA1175320

P. Ipsens Enke, Copenhagen — “angel Of The Night” Bisque Vase After Thorvaldsen, C. 1880–1900

£250    $334    €292
A fine 19th-century Danish bisque stoneware vase by P. Ipsens Enke, featuring relief decoration after the Neoclassical sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844). Distributed in Britain by A. Borgen & Co., London (impressed mark to the base).
 
One side depicts the “Angel of the Night” carrying a sleeping child, symbolising spiritual protection; the reverse shows a winged female with two children and an owl — emblem of Athena and wisdom. Crafted in soft buff bisque with clean, sculptural definition, this piece embodies the Scandinavian interpretation of Neoclassicism that characterised late-Victorian taste.
