AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant pair of antique decorative fittings in the shape of covered urns, richly adorned with leafy motifs and bas-relief details.
Each piece features a lid surmounted by a flame-shaped finial, an urn body decorated with acanthus leaves, and an especially worked architectural base. The base is animated by rocaille scrolls, foliate motifs, and a central oval medallion.
The ensemble reflects a decorative taste inspired by the Louis XV / Rocaille style, with execution characteristic of decorative productions from the late 19th or early 20th century.
These elements can be used as fireplace fittings, console ornaments, architectural decorative elements, or interior decor accessories. Their size and perfect symmetry make them a particularly decorative pair.

Height: 27 cm
Width: about 15 cm
Weight: about 1 kg per piece
