An evocative and finely sculpted antique French Empire-style urn, carved from solid marble and featuring a gracefully draped cloth motif enveloping the vessel. This symbolic neoclassical form, often associated with mourning or remembrance, is executed with elegant restraint and tactile detail. The urn rests on a square base and bears natural aging, surface patina, and weathering consistent with its age and material.
This piece comes from the collection of the late Michael Joyce and Archie Carter III of Greensboro, North Carolina — renowned collectors of neoclassical and 19th-century European objects. Whether displayed on a pedestal, bookshelf, or incorporated into a vignette, this piece adds timeless symbolism and sculptural integrity to any interior.
