This pair of nineteenth century decorative garnitures in the neoclassical revival style comprises silver-plated urns mounted on square marble plinths. Each vessel displays a fluted body, ornate scroll handles, and a stepped foot resting on a multi-coloured marble base. Rising from the centre of each urn is a tall vertical arrangement of green metal leaves, intertwined with delicate blue berries, pale pink blossoms, and small white flowers. The silver-plated finish shows a warm golden patina with varied tones across the moulded surfaces and scrolled handles. Each garniture measures 81 cm high, 24 cm wide, and 11 cm deep. These decorative statement pieces suit placement atop a sideboard or console table in a drawing room or hallway, adding a classic botanical touch to traditional interior settings.

FAQs

Garnitures are ornate decorative objects, typically created in matching pairs or sets, designed to add balance and symmetry to fireplace mantels, sideboards, or religious altars. They often feature classical urn shapes paired with elaborate floral arrangements or topiary forms.

Traditional garnitures were constructed using silver-plated or gilded copper and brass for the urns, mounted onto solid marble plinths. The floral displays were formed using shaped sheet metal or stiffened textiles attached to central iron shafts.

Authentic pieces display natural signs of age, such as surface oxidisation, minor wear to the silver plating, and patina on metal leaves. Construction indicators include hand-soldered metal joinery and veins within genuine marble bases.

Positioning the pair symmetrically on a dining room sideboard, entry console table, or fireplace mantelpiece creates height and balance. They pair well with neutral stone backdrop walls, gilded mirrors, and classic woodwork.

Remove dust using a soft, dry artist brush to clean intricate floral leaves without bending delicate elements. Gently wipe silver-plated surfaces with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding abrasive liquid polishes that can strip remaining metal plating.
