A finely crafted Italian Neoclassical urn carved from richly banded alabaster, resting on a turned pedestal base and crowned with a domed lid. The piece is adorned with exquisitely cast gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts in the form of laurel branches — a timeless emblem of victory and eternity.
Produced in Italy around the turn of the 20th century, likely in Volterra or Florence where alabaster carving flourished, this urn exemplifies the Grand Tour aesthetic that celebrated classical antiquity. Its soft, honey-toned translucence and refined proportions make it both an object of art and a statement of cultivated taste, echoing the elegance of late 19th-century European decorative arts..
