Pair Of White Marble Ormolu Mounted Urns, France, Circa 19th Century
These urns are crafted in the Louis XVI or Neoclassical style. Each cassolette is shaped like a lidded urn, adorned with intricate gilt bronze mounts including cherubs (or "enfant figures"), laurel ribbons, acanthus leaves, and often standing on decorative feet or a sculpted base.
The removable lids can often be inverted to serve as candle holders or sconces, adding to their versatility as decorative pieces.
They are made of gilt bronze for the ornate details and white marble for the body and base, creating a luxurious contrast.
