Description

Both vases are of Campana form, positioned on top of stepped square malachite bases. Ormolu paw feet support each vase. The vases stand on a short square malachite plinth framed by ormolu detailing and standing on bun feet. The naturally occurring patterns of the malachite are of various forms and sizes, adding an intriguing design to the surface.

The body of each vase is mounted on two sides with a stunning pair of ormolu handles. Shaped in the form of classical male bearded masks, they complement other gilt bronze detailing. Bead and reel bands frame the body of both vases, adding a subtle yet sophisticated design element.  

The large size of the pair creates true visual dominance and makes this pair excellent statement pieces for both interior and exterior spaces.
