Located in West Palm Beach, FL
Pair of Antique Italian Marble Bacchanalian Garden Urns 19th Century or Older After the Roman Antiquity, influences of the Medici and Borghese Vases We are pleased to offer this remarkable pair of Antique (19th Century or Older) Italian Marble Bacchanalian Garden Urns, These stunning examples bear the unmistakable influence of Roman Antiquity, referencing design attributes of the renowned Medici and Borghese Vases.
