DescriptionUp for your consideration is a pair of 19th C. French marble urns, adorned with gilded bronze ormolu, c. 1890. The urns are made of a grayish/white marble, and are of the finest quality, with protective bronze plates on the underside. The handles are winding asps, which have been further engraved to add detail. Quality-wise, these are about as nice as they get, basically museum-quality.
SizeThe urns measures 24.5" tall, and about 12". Each urn weighs about 70 lbs.
ConditionOverall, the piece is in excellent condition. There are some very minor chips/wear to the extreme edges (see last photo). Age typical, and nothing distracting. Some of the gilt bronze ormolu is a bit loose, it all stays properly in place, but there is some light wobble if you physically move the ormolu with your hands. Again, age typical. Overall, these is about as clean a pair of urns that you are likely to find.Shipping Costs/Terms
