Antique Napoleon III black marble cassolette from around 1900, in black marble with gilded relief details, made in France and measuring 20.5 cm high by 13.0 cm wide by 10.5 cm deep.
Description from the seller
Impressive black marble cassolette with gilded details – a classic statement piece full of allure.
This elegant cassolette is crafted in deep black marble with a silky gloss and subtle natural veining. The design is inspired by neoclassical form language: a graceful bowl on a refined, turned stem, set on a sturdy square base.
What makes this object special is the richly worked relief at the base. The decoration features classical putti and floral garlands, partly accentuated with gilding. The combination of the dark marble and warm gold tones creates a powerful and luxurious contrast.
The cassolette was originally intended as an ornamental urn or scent burner, but today lends itself perfectly as a decorative piece on a mantel, sideboard, or console. Even without contents, this item exudes stateliness and historic elegance.
Condition
Good antique condition with light signs of use appropriate for age. Some small edge and surface marks are visible, underscoring its authentic character.
A decorative object with a museum-like appearance that effortlessly adds grandeur to any classic or eclectic interior.

Height 20.5 cm
