Description from the seller

Impressive black marble cassolette with gilded details – a classic statement piece full of allure.

This elegant cassolette is executed in deep-black marble with a silky shine and subtle natural veining. The design is inspired by neoclassical form language: an elegant bowl on a refined, turned stem, placed on a robust 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 fragrance burner, but today it lends itself perfectly as a decorative object on a mantel, sideboard, or console. Even without content, this piece radiates stateliness and historical elegance.

Condition
Good antique condition with light signs of use appropriate to age. Some small edge and surface traces visible, which underline the authentic character.

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

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