A striking pair of mid-20th century Italian ceramic urns by Ugo Zaccagnini, Florence, executed in a refined neoclassical revival style.
Each urn is adorned with finely rendered classical profile medallions set within hand-painted faux malachite cartouches, designed to emulate the appearance of carved hardstone seen in 18th and 19th century European decorative arts. The sculptural handles take the form of winged female figures, lending a distinctly Grand Tour sensibility, while richly applied gilt detailing enhances the architectural form.
Domed lids with finials and pedestal bases complete the composition, creating a balanced and highly decorative silhouette. Produced for the luxury export market, these urns reflect Zaccagnini’s interpretation of classical antiquity through a mid-century lens.
An exceptional decorative pair, ideal for flanking a mantel, console, or anchoring a symmetrical vignette.
