The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A cassolette is a decorative covered vessel or urn, originating in France during the eighteenth century, originally intended to hold scented materials or perfume and later used primarily as ornamental accents.

Late nineteenth-century French cassolettes were typically crafted using carved marble, porphyry, or alabaster combined with chased gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts, bases, and handles.

Authentic period cassolettes feature heavy gilt-bronze mounts, fine hand-chasing on metalwork, natural surface variations in the hand-cut stone, and central threaded rod construction holding the sections together.

These decorative urns are traditionally arranged in a symmetrical pair on a mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard top to flank a large mirror or artwork.

Maintain marble and gilt bronze by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth or soft brush, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or metal polishes that could strip the original gilding.
