Description from the seller

Beautiful, neoclassical-style bronze urns (vases) mounted on black marble base. These decorative pieces are typically 19th-century French in origin, often in the Napoleon III style.

The urns are made of patinated bronze , and they sit on heavy black marble.
Design: They feature ornate, classical-inspired designs, including vertical fluting on the body and high-relief decorative elements.
Handles: The handles are particularly elaborate, taking the form of figures, likely satyrs or ram's heads, which is characteristic of Dionysian or Bacchic motifs popular in neoclassical art.
Such urns were commonly used as decorative objects for mantels or pedestals (cassolettes) to add a sense of grandeur to an interior space.
