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 model is inspired by neoclassical design: an elegant bowl on a refined, turned stem, mounted on a sturdy square base.

What makes this object special is the richly worked relief in the base. The ornament features classical putti and floral garlands, partly accented with gilding. The combination of dark marble and warm gold tones creates a powerful and luxurious contrast.

The cassolette was originally intended as a decorative urn or scent burner, but today it is perfectly suited as a decorative object on a mantel, sideboard, or console. Even empty, this piece exudes stateliness and historical elegance.

Condition
Good antique condition with light signs of use appropriate to age. Some small edge and surface marks visible, which reinforces its authentic character.

A decorative object with a museum-like appearance that effortlessly adds grandeur to any classic or eclectic interior.

Dimensions
Height 20.5 cm
Width 13 cm
Depth 10.5 cm
Diameter 14 cm
