Antique French Neoclassical cassolette-form urn in white marble with gilt bronze mounts and putti/cherub head accents. A substantial, estate-sourced decorative object with the weight and classical detailing that reads beautifully on a mantel, console, or entry pedestal.
The marble body shows natural tonal variation and veining, complemented by warm, time-softened gilt bronze beading and relief mounts. The sculptural cherub accents add a refined, playful note while the tall, lidded urn silhouette provides strong vertical presence in a vignette.

Good antique condition with attractive age patina and light surface wear consistent with age and display. There is visible finish loss and wear to the gilt bronze, and one bronze element at the putti-held floral vine is disconnected/loose; additionally, the top area appears to show evidence of a possibly missing former bronze collar or fitting (please review close-up photos). The marble presents well overall with expected antique handling wear; no structural instability was noted.
Measurements: H 23" x W 10.5" x D 10.5"
