Cast from spelter, each has been given a patinaed bronze finish which enhances the detailing from the pineapple finial above, to the norsemen on the scrolled handles, to the heraldic crest at the center, and finally the upraised foliates at the base of the urn. Set upon beautifully veined marble bases that have been raised on feet and festooned with intertwined laurel sprays for a special finishing touch!
Circa 1890s
Each measures 16.5H x 7W x 4.5D less
