About the Item

An impressive neoclassical silver urn, featuring both a classical female mask and a lion-mask terminal, sculpturally integrated into a dramatic vertical form with a winged female caryatid emerging from a tapering body and terminating in a classical stylized face-form base. The urn features a flared, highly polished rim and a continuous laurel-leaf frieze in raised relief, demonstrating fine Silverwork and harmonious proportions. The urn is mounted on a substantial Malachite pedestal, richly colored with natural green banding and complex veining, resting on a stepped base with silver trim. The striking contrast between the luminous silver and vivid malachite reflects the opulence of European luxury decorative arts, drawing from Empire and Art Nouveau influences. Elegant, sculptural, and highly decorative, this piece makes a powerful statement in a refined interior or serious collection.
