An imposing Louis XVI style lidded urn displayed on a coordinating column pedestal, crafted in richly veined black marble and embellished with finely cast gilt-metal mounts.
The baluster-shaped urn is surmounted by a stepped cover with a pinecone finial. Twin scrolling handles rise from foliate terminals, while ribbon-tied floral swags and acanthus mounts enrich the body. It stands on a shaped marble plinth with gilt mouldings and small ball feet.
The separate pedestal has a square marble platform above an ornate pierced gilt-metal capital, supported by a tall cylindrical column of matching veined marble. A moulded gilt collar and substantial stepped square base complete the design.
