Pair of Exceptional Carrara White Marble Vases Grand Tour

About the Item

Exceptional pair of vases in the shape of a cantharus. From a foot with overlapping moldings like strips, woven ribbons and acanthus leaves, a smooth stem rises, tapering towards the top, with a crown knot of laurel leaves tied by ribbons. It has the saucer decorated with pods and the body decorated with a continuous bas-relief. The owl's beak hem is decorated with ovals and arrows; the double handles are connected to it by a collar, the ends of which, wrapped in spirals of decreasing size, rest on the upper part of the rim. Remarkable for its large size, for the classic beauty of its shape, for the intense purity of its white Carrara marble, and also by the very high quality of its décor, a basrelief on the Dionysian putto theme. The model, of which it is the copy made in the 18th century by Massimiliano Laboureur and Lorenzo Cardelli between 1783 and 1785, on the occasion of the renovation of the villa promoted by Marcantonio Borghese. Timeless decoration for you interior or garden.
