Magnificent Pair of Louis XVI Style Gilt-Bronze-Mounted White Marble Urns
About the Item
A distinguished pair of Louis XVI style gilt-bronze-mounted white marble urns, epitomizing the neoclassical taste of the 19th century with a harmonious blend of utility and grandeur. Each urn stands as a testament to exquisite craftsmanship, presenting an elegant white marble body, generously adorned with gilt-bronze mounts that gleam with a golden hue. The central motif features a gracefully arranged floral garland, artfully draped across the urn’s corpulent belly, suggesting both bounty and beauty.
The pièce de résistance of each urn is undoubtedly the handles, ingeniously wrought in the form of young rooster heads, a symbol of vigilance and the herald of new beginnings in classical symbolism. These handles not only serve a practical purpose but are also a sculptural feast, capturing the lifelike essence of the roosters with a dignified posture and keen detail.
Resting on a square base, the urns showcase additional gilt-bronze foliage motifs, delicately chiseled on each face of the plinth, providing a sturdy yet sophisticated foundation. The gilt-bronze footed base adds a touch of opulence and height, enhancing the commanding presence of the pair.
Adaptability to modern living is demonstrated as both urns have been thoughtfully drilled for electrification, allowing these historical pieces to serve as monumental lamp bases, thereby marrying their classical aesthetic with contemporary function.
These urns are poised to be a crowning addition to any collection, gracing interiors with their regal charm and serving as luminous ambassadors of the Louis XVI style. A rare find for discerning collectors and interior decorators alike.
