Vases and Garlands

A set of Neoclassical urn and garland decorations. The urn is a classical two-handled vase shape: broad shoulders, cinched waist, with a base, and a perfectly symmetrical silhouette; the garland is a string of flowers and leaves woven into a loop, with thin ribbons hanging from both ends. They often appear together: a garland hanging from each side of an urn. Used in niches, above doors, in ceiling reliefs, and on furniture panels. Avoid: making the urn asymmetrical, using realistic bouquets instead of stylized garlands, making the urn disproportionately large, using more than three in the same space.

一組甕與花環的新古典裝飾。甕是古典的雙耳瓶形:寬肩、收腰、有底座,輪廓完全對稱;花環是一串由花與葉編成的環,兩端垂下細的緞帶。它們常一起出現:一個甕的兩側各垂下一道花環。用在壁龕、門的上方、天花的浮雕與家具的鑲板上。避免:讓甕的形狀不對稱、使用寫實的花束取代程式化的花環、把甕做得過大失去比例、在同一空間重複使用超過三處。
