AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant pair of antique decorative ornaments in the form of covered urns, richly embellished with leafy motifs and raised details.
Each piece features a lid topped with a flame-shaped finial, an urn-shaped body decorated with acanthus leaves, and a particularly elaborate architectural base. The foot is adorned with rocaille scrolls, leafy motifs, and a central oval medallion.
The ensemble reflects a decorative taste inspired by the Louis XV / Rococo style, with workmanship characteristic of decorative pieces made in the late 19th or early 20th century.
These pieces can be used as mantel ornaments, console decorations, architectural decorative elements, or interior design accessories. Their size and perfect symmetry make them a particularly decorative pair.
