Pair Of Cassolettes In Gilded Bronze And Marble

This refined pair of cassolettes dates from the 19th century and is a superb example of the neoclassical style. The elegant vases are crafted in luxurious gilt bronze, richly adorned with playful details such as putti playing musical instruments, surrounded by leafy motifs and shells. The gilding boasts a warm golden shine that perfectly complements the marble.

The vases are made of Sarrancolin Ilhet marble, an exclusive type of marble renowned for its unique, vibrant veining in a palette of gray, white, and beige, accented with subtle golden and brown hues. This rare marble has been appreciated since classical antiquity for its opulent appearance.

A small part of the trumpet of one of the putti is missing.
