Description from the seller

Pair of marble and bronze decorative urns/vases – Classical style – 20th century

Imposing pair of decorative urns made of veined marble in shades of white, cream and amber hues, combined with ornamental bronzed patina details. This is a visually striking set designed to impart solemnity, balance, and an aristocratic air to classical or eclectic interiors.

The pieces feature a clearly neoclassical-inspired design, with elegantly tapered tronconic bodies, stylized bronze side handles, and upper lids crowned by decorative finials. Each urn rests on a stepped marble base, enhanced with bronze accents that reinforce both stability and the sculptural character of the ensemble.

The natural veining of the marble makes each urn a unique piece, creating an attractive contrast with the warm patina of the bronze. This type of garnish was common in manor-house salons, fireplaces, sideboards, or display spaces, where they fulfilled a decorative and symbolic function.

A set especially suited for collectors of classical decorative arts, lovers of the historicist style, or interior-design projects with timeless appeal.

Condition:
Very good overall condition. The marble remains intact, with no breaks or significant missing pieces. The bronze shows a patina appropriate for its age, with slight signs of use typical of the passage of time, which add authenticity and character.

Dimensions (approx.):
Height: 40 cm
Maximum width: 16 cm
Depth: 8 cm
Base: 10 × 10 cm

(Measurements may vary slightly as these are artisanal pieces)

Additional information for the buyer: it is recommended to examine them carefully.

Shipping will be carried out by insured courier with tracking number, carefully packaged. Whenever possible, delivery to a pick-up point or locker will be prioritized.
