Pair of Hand-Painted Italian Faience Urns with Gilt Bronze Bases - Signed
About the Item
Bring a touch of regal European elegance into your home with this exquisite pair of Italian faience urns, masterfully hand-painted and mounted on ornate gilt bronze bases. These museum-worthy pieces showcase the pinnacle of Old World craftsmanship, blending the richness of Renaissance Revival design with the vibrant artistry of Italian maiolica tradition.
Each urn features bold scroll handles, a flared rim, and finely detailed foliate and floral motifs in a rich palette of cobalt blue, ochre, crimson, and green. The glaze has developed a beautiful antique craquelure, offering authenticity and charm. The heavy ormolu-style bronze bases add a layer of refinement, with deep fluting, scalloped edging, and classic acanthus detailing.
Perfect as statement pieces on a console, mantel, or as centerpieces on a dining table, these urns bring history, grandeur, and sophistication to any elevated space.
Origin: Italy
Style: Renaissance Revival / Neoclassical
Materials: Hand-painted faience (ceramic), gilt bronze
Condition: Excellent antique condition; minor expected wear consistent with age
Use: Decorative urns, planters, vases, or objets d'art
Why This Pair Stands Out:
Rarely do you find Italian faience urns of this scale and caliber, particularly as a matching pair. The combination of bold hand-painted detail and substantial bronze footing makes them ideal for high-end interior designers, European antique collectors, or anyone looking to add refined Old World luxury to a curated space.
Mounted on a stylized scrolling metal base, the underside of this pair is marked 1866 in metal, along with a blue stamp on the ceramic base, seen under the metal mount.
Dimensions for each urn:
9.75" diameter
14.75" tall.
