Of a period where even decorative arts was an extension of the architecture of a home. Sold by J. E. Caldwell & Co., Philadelphia. NOTE: The last photo shows the 2 bronze urns with a matching mantel clock which I am also selling in my shop in case you are interested in the set. It is NOT part of this sale. Also, the clock is sold as a decorative piece and would need to be evaluated and/or repaired by a professional to insure its functionality.

In fair condition considering age and history. Zoom in on photos to see any imperfections including chipped left corners on the stone bases of both pieces and some loss of finish on the gilt string-work surrounding the malachite insets on one urn. less
