A stunning and extremely high quality French 19th century Louis XVI st. Belle Époque period Onyx and ormolu urn.

The remarkable onyx body displays a most decorative mottled wrap around design with exquisite beautiful ormolu winged maidens at each side amidst intricately detailed acanthus leaves and foliate garlands in a rich satin and burnished finish at each side. The top border displays a mottled wrap around ormolu band with charming rosettes and finely chased berried laurel branches. All original gilt throughout.
