Large Pair Of 19th C. Ormolu Mounted Verde Antico Marble Vases

A pair of French 19th-century Louis XVI style Verde Antico Marble and Ormolu Urns by Maison Boudet

The urns are crafted from Verde Antico marble, a dark green marble with distinctive white veining, and feature intricate gilt bronze mounts, also known as ormolu.
Reflecting the Neoclassical aesthetic of the Louis XVI style, they exhibit symmetry and classical ornamentation. The gilt bronze mounts are a hallmark of this style. The mounts include detailed handles, decorative bands, and a finial at the top.

Such urns served as elaborate decorative objects, often placed on mantels, consoles, or pedestals in grand interiors to convey opulence and refined taste. Large Pair Of 19th C. Ormolu Mounted Verde Antico Marble Urns. France, Circa 19th Century. By Maison Boudet. H: 28-1/2"D: 11"x9"
