A VERY FINE AND SUBSTANTIAL PAIR OF LOUIS XVI STYLE ORMOLU-MOUNTED BLACK SLATE URNS, NOW FITTED AS LAMPS
Paris, France … more A VERY FINE AND SUBSTANTIAL PAIR OF LOUIS XVI STYLE ORMOLU-MOUNTED BLACK SLATE URNS, NOW FITTED AS LAMPS
Paris, France | circa second half of the 19th century | unmarked
Item # 403PUW11D

An exquisite pair of oversized polished black slate urns that were converted into lamps during the first half of the 20th century, they are designed in the Louis XVI taste with very finely chased and chiseled ormolu mounts throughout. The handles are beautifully fluted with a cross-hatched chiseling within the flutes and a high-polish where raised while acanthus foliage wraps over the curved handles and grape leaves flow outward from the handle joint with the body of the urn. Each urn retains its original finial, which has been remounted as the finial for the lamp over a high-polished brass stem projecting from the lid with a repeating ring of leaves curving over the lid. The lamps are raised over a squared footer stepping out into a squared bronze footer. An extraordinary presentation - bold, exquisite.
