A pair of Louis XVI style urn-shaped cassolettes. The white marble bodies, tapering towards the base, are embellished with gilt bronze ornaments: beaded friezes, foliate garlands, and foliage motifs at the base. The side handles, in the form of sculpted ram's heads, frame the upper section. Each cassolette is topped with a non-removable pinecone-shaped lid and rests on a pedestal and then a square white marble base. The set forms a refined decorative element, suitable for a mantelpiece, console table, or as a pair of accent pieces.
Condition report : wear to the gilding and some chips to the marble
