Pair of Fine Quality Italian Scagliola Urns with Ormolu Mounts as Lamps

About the Item

A Pair of Fine Quality Italian Scagliola Urns with Ormolu Mounts and Marble Bases, now wired as lamps. The lion mask bearing ring handles are well sculpted, as are the additional mounts. Scagliola, is an art form devised as early as the Roman Empire. It combines gypsum, glue and marble dust of various colors to create the illusion of marble. In ancient times, as well as today, it is a favorite of patrons and designers alike. It is an opportunity to create fantasy colors and markings perhaps not found in nature.
