Pair of large solid bronze covered vases with flame decoration - Late 19th century, Louis XVI style

Important and elegant pair of solid bronze covered vases, made at the end of the 19th century in the taste of the Louis XVI style.

Of baluster form resting on a circular pedestal, these vases are distinguished by their remarkable lids topped with stylized flames, whose particularly expressive modeling lends the ensemble a strong, refined decorative presence. The quality of the cast iron, the heavy weight of these pieces and the balance of their proportions testify to meticulous craftsmanship intended for prestigious decoration.

Completely made from solid bronze, these vases are naturally hollow inside, according to the traditional techniques employed for this type of architectural and decorative ornament. Their beautiful antique-green patina, enhanced by light golden-brown reflections on the flames, lends them authentic charm and timeless elegance.

These decorative elements are made of solid bronze.

These decorative elements will find their perfect place on a mantelpiece, console, sideboard or in a bookcase. They can also be mounted on marble pedestals to further enhance their monumental character. Gilding with fine gold could also be considered to recapture the brilliance of the finest 19th-century decorative trimmings.
