Pair Of Vases To Felines In Empire Style 19th Century XIXe

An elegant pair of ornamental vases in marble and gilt bronze. Dating from the late 19th century in the Empire style, this sumptuous pair of decorative vases captivates with its refined architecture and clean lines. Crafted from veined marble with striking contrasts, each vase has a generous ovoid shape, resting on a slender pedestal and a stepped base, lending the whole a harmonious balance. The slightly tapered neck is surmounted by a domed lid ending in a pinecone finial.

The ensemble is enriched with remarkable, finely crafted gilt bronze elements: foliate friezes and gadroons highlighting the transitions, architecturally designed stirrup-shaped handles, decorative appliqués of knotted ribbons, stylized feline head masks lending strength and majesty, and feet adorned with classical motifs and chased rings.
