EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Gaming Set, created by the renowned Du Paquier Porcelain Manufactory in Vienna around 1735, is a true testament to the opulence and craftsmanship of the Baroque era. The set, made from hard paste porcelain adorned with polychrome enamels and gilt mounts, showcases an intricate floral design that adds a touch of elegance to each piece. The vibrant colors and delicate motifs on this gaming set transport us back to a time when leisure activities were enjoyed with utmost luxury. It is evident that every detail has been meticulously crafted, from the beautifully depicted landscapes on the game box to the gilded accents that adorn each game piece. Gaming was not only a form of entertainment but also a social activity during this period. This set would have been used for various card games or perhaps even gambling gatherings among nobility and aristocracy. Its presence would have added an air of sophistication to any gaming table. Today, this artifact stands as a remarkable example of European applied arts from the 18th century. Housed in the Art Institute Chicago's collection, it serves as a reminder of Austria's rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess. As we admire its beauty and intricacy, we are transported back in time to an era where artistry met functionality in perfect harmony.
