Andrew Lovatt Antiques has dated these French Marble Cassolette Urns to the 19th Century.
Each Cassolette features an elegant baluster-shaped body with a beautifully veined green marble, rising to a slender, tapering neck and surmounted by an intricately cast and chased Gilded Bronze lid which is finished with a decorative spherical finial.
The lower sections are embellished with finely cast gilt-bronze decorative mounts, incorporating classical foliate and ornamental detailing.
Each vase is supported on an elaborate gilt-bronze stem and spreading foot, standing upon its original square marble plinth with curved corners.
The quality of the bronze casting is especially noteworthy, with crisp, finely detailed casting, excellent chasing.
The combination of the deep green marble and lavish gilt-bronze mounts is characteristic of the finest French decorative arts of the 19th century.
A particularly distinguished and decorative pair, displaying superb materials, craftsmanship and classical elegance.
