Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 19TH CENTURY:
Multi-part cast bronze construction: French bronze casting of the early nineteenth century.
Panels showing allegories of music and art: classical Charles X design.
Patination rubbed through to raw metal on edges and corners: natural age and handling.
Old dust and oxidisation settled deep into the fluting: years of undisturbed standing.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This pair of early 19th-century French Charles X period campana-shaped classical style bronze urns exhibits a rich dark brown patinated finish. Each vessel rests on a stepped plinth base with square feet, featuring sides cast with alternating panels emblematic of music and art within classical wreath motifs. The campana-shaped bodies display cast ovolo rims and are fitted with twin cast mask loop handles, rising from fluted bodies and fluted socles onto circular feet. The pieces show a consistent colour and patina across their metallic surfaces. Measuring 35 cm high, 12 cm wide and 11 cm deep, they are suitable for placement on a mantelpiece or console table in a traditional interior setting.

FAQs

The Charles X period (18241830) in France bridged the late Empire and Restauration styles, featuring classical Greco-Roman motifs, refined proportions, and detailed bronze casting with fluting, wreaths, and lyre motifs.

Campana urns are cast in bronze using traditional foundry techniques, often made in sectioned components including the bell-shaped body, flared rim, handles, stemmed foot, and a weighted rectangular or square plinth base.

Authentic 19th-century pieces display age-appropriate surface oxidisation, hand-chased surface details, original threaded assembly rods beneath the base, and notable physical weight consistent with heavy cast bronze.

A pair of bronze urns can be placed symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table to establish visual balance and introduce historic texture into contemporary spaces.

Maintain bronze objects by dusting regularly with a dry, soft lint-free cloth. Avoid chemical polishes or abrasive cleaners, applying a light coat of microcrystalline wax occasionally to protect the patinated surface.
