Louis XVI Style Gilt Marble Vases

About the Item

The bodies of this pair of Louis XVI-style vases, measuring nearly two feet in height, are formed from stunning specimens of white marble. Doré bronze mounts in the Louis XVI style perfectly contrast with the bright hues of the hardstone. Classical goat masks surmount the legs, which terminate in hoofed feet, while highly detailed foliate scrolls chase the marble forms. Crowned by a pinecone finial, the mounts add the perfect amount of luxury to the timeless white marble. This type of paired vases are often known as cassolettes. The term "cassolette" is from the French word cassole, meaning "small container." While the word has other meanings in culinary respects, in the decorative arts, cassolettes are small covered vases meant to hold perfumed substances or incense. Popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, these objets d'art were crafted from all manner of materials, including marble, porcelain and bronze. Circa 1860 18" high x 7 1/2" diameter
