AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of ornamental candelabra vases, Louis XVI style, Napoleonic era (19th century).
The central body is carved from veinless Carrara marble, mounted on a double square base made of alabaster limestone.
The set is decorated with mounts made of gilded solid bronze (ormolu).
The piece is mounted on a double square plinth and adorned with rich mounts in Gilded Solid Bronze (ormolu). The ornaments are exclusively floral and botanical in nature (acanthus leaves, garlands, and stylized clusters). The base rests on four small bronze doré toupie feet.
The baluster-shaped urn and the mounts are in very good condition, with no cracks or major damage, featuring gilding and a patina that attest to the age of the solid bronze.
Each 13cm high cassolette weighs 2.3kg.
