Pair of Fine French Antique Green Marble & Ormolu Cassolettes / Urns – 19th Century Louis XVI Style
An exceptional and highly decorative pair of antique French cassolettes, made from richly figured green marble and adorned with exquisite gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts. Dating from the late 19th century and executed in the elegant Louis XVI neoclassical taste, these impressive decorative urns make a striking statement piece for any refined interior.
Each cassolette features a beautifully veined dark green marble body with dramatic natural patterning, complemented by finely cast and chased ormolu mounts. The twin swan-neck handles, floral garlands, acanthus leaf decoration, pineapple finials, and stepped square bases demonstrate the outstanding craftsmanship associated with high-quality French decorative arts.
The contrast between the deep green marble and the warm gilded bronze creates a luxurious and timeless appearance, making these urns ideal for display on a mantelpiece, conso
...le table, sideboard, library, drawing room, country house, townhouse, or grand entrance hall. Their classical form and elegant proportions embody the sophistication of the French Empire, Louis XVI Revival, and Belle Époque periods.
A highly desirable pair for collectors of French antiques, ormolu-mounted marble objects, neoclassical decorative arts, château furnishings, and luxury interior design pieces.
