A Monumental and Exceptionally High Quality 19th Century French Ormolu Mounted and Rouge Marble Jardiniere, attributed to ROBERT FRÈRES. The urn is of baluster form with ormolu satyr mask handles flanking either side. Two winged putti are seen hanging floral garlands from up above to down below where one putti rests at the base.

Each aspect of the ormolu is incredible, with hand-chased and hand-chiseled details throughout the satyr faces, horns, eyes, the putti heads and bodies, the incredible ormolu garlands, and the hooved feet. The marble is gorgeous, this naturally rouge marble is very rare to find in this size and age with natural white lined inclusions. The entire marble body is hand-carved and hand-polished with meticulous detail and craftsmanship by master sculptures. each ormolu mount is perfectly fitted into the marble body. The marble is hand-carved specifically in each section where the ormolu mounts are placed. The centerpiece sits on an extraordinary matching rouge marble pedestal.

A Monumental 18/19th C. French Ormolu Mounted Grey Marble Covered Urn w/ Handles
Located in New York, NY
A Monumental Late 1700's/Early 1800's French Ormolu Mounted Marble Covered Urn
Presenting an extraordinary Monumental 18/19th Century French Ormolu Mounted Marble Covered Urn. Crafted with meticulous precision, this exquisite urn showcases a captivating blend of materials and intricate ornamentation.
The urn features a splendid mid-toned grey uniformly patterned marble, skillfully carved into a rounded bulb. Both the lid and body of the urn gracefully mimic the contours of an egg, lending an harmonious and organic appeal to the overall design. Adorning the base of the body are carved ormolu ferns, beautifully encircling the bottom of the belly as it descends to a marble pedestal that is ringed at the bottom with an ormolu wreath resting atop a stunning cubic stepped deep-green marble plinth.
Crowning the urn is a pineapple finial, exquisitely crafted from ormolu bronze. Encircling the base of this handle, one can admire a delicate ring of foliate ormolu bronze, adding a touch of sophistication to the composition. The handles on either side of the urn are a delightful departure from the conventional, boasting ribbed, angled, and bent-square ormolu designs. This unexpected detail adds a refreshing and distinctive element to the overall aesthetic.
To further enhance its grandeur, the grey marble urn is adorned with ornate and delicate foliate ormolu bronze scrolls. These intricate scrolls gracefully meander along the belly of the urn, lending a sense of opulence and refinement to the piece.
