Double handed vase - Carrara marble

A sculpture in Carrara white marble of extraordinary elegance, a perfect example of neoclassical taste that recalls the splendor of the great European mansions of the 18th and 19th centuries. The vase is a monumental urn with a lid, characterized by a Greco-Roman-inspired structure. The style is purely Neoclassical (Louis XVI or Empire style). Decorated with a central bas-relief band depicting garlands of fruit and shells. At the bottom it features a Greek key pattern and acanthus leaves in relief. The handles are the most distinctive part, decorated with a two-faced relief of two mythological figures supported by boar heads. The lid presents a gadrooned decoration and ends with a pinecone-shaped knob.

The vase belonged to a noble family and was located at the villa on the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula, purchased in 1965 and transported to Italy, now part of the family collection.

It will be shipped and packed in a wooden crate to prevent any damage during shipping.
