The architectural composition is centred around classical urns, flanked by expressive bas-reliefs of mythological beasts connected by leaf garlands, referencing the iconography of antiquity. The masterfully executed casting and hand-chasing of the details, followed by rich gilding, fully convey the creator's original artistic vision. These pieces are perfectly suited for the decorative framing of a classic fireplace, be it electric or gas. They can equally be utilised as independent interior elements, introducing distinct accents of historical and artistic aesthetics into the living space.\u003cbr\u003eDETAILS:\u003cbr\u003eMaker: Unidentified, presumably France.\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Gilt bronze; hand-chased.\u003cbr\u003eSize (approx.): 26.3 cm (10.3 inches) high, 24.5 cm (9.6 inches) wide, 12 cm (4.7 inches) deep.\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Overall in good condition, age and usage related wear.\u003cbr\u003eProvenance: Swedish private collection.\u003cbr\u003eShipping: Approx. weight 3.6 kg; packed approx. weight 5 kg.
