About the Item

A magnificent Louis XVI Style Russian ormolu-mounted covered agate vase or Urn with finely hand-chiseled and Cast doré Bronze Swan Handles. This marvellous baluster form covered vase has been beautifully hollowed and hand carved from an exceptional quality piece of agate.

The vase is set on a beautiful square raised ormolu base, further resting on ormolu balled feet. Inlaid in each side of the base are rectangular handcut agate panels. The lid of the vase is also hand carved agate with a pinecone finial resting atop. Russia, circa Early 1800s.
