Pair of French 19th Century Louis XVI St. Ormolu and Porphyry Lidded Urns

A stunning and very high quality true pair of French 19th century Louis XVI st. ormolu and Porphyry lidded urns. Each urn is raised by a fine circular base with a finely detailed wrap around Coeur de Rai ormolu band. Three elegantly curved supports lead upwards with handsome paw feet and lovely acanthus leaves centering a fine rosette and striking most decorative spiraled snake and leading to charming richly chased open arm cherubs seemingly holding the Porphyry bodies. The bodies display beautiful curved and mottled designs with the removable lid displaying a charming top finial.
