AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful and impressive pair of antique decorative urns (cassolettes), made of onyx and richly adorned with refined gilt metal ornaments, presumably bronze (ormolu).

These elegant urns are distinguished by their classical design, graceful garlands, finely crafted handles and detailed decorative elements.

Thanks to their imposing size and combined weight of approximately 30 kg, these urns are particularly well suited as decorative centrepieces on a classic mantelpiece, console table, sideboard or in a stylish interior.
