About the Item
A Large 19th Century French Black Marble, Patinated, and Gilt-Bronze Vase Attributed to Charpentier
Cie. This remarkable vase is attributed to the workshop of Charpentier
Cie., and stands as an exquisite fusion of sumptuous black marble, intricately detailed patinated bronze, and opulent gilded embellishments. Drawing inspiration from the storied legacy of ancient Greece, this vase showcases a profusion of intricate motifs and details painstakingly rendered upon its black marble canvas.
Both the upper rim and the interior of the vase are adorned with gilt borders, while the interior itself is impeccably finished with smooth ormolu mounts, providing a luxurious contrast to the opulent exterior. The upper section of the vase presents a captivating tableau, where stylized, curling wings extend gracefully upwards, supported by sphinx-like creatures on either side. These graceful forms reach upward to meet the hand-carved and gilt rim, creating a seamless transition between the various sections of the vase.
Ormolu handles, meticulously crafted in intricate scrolled foliate designs, are elegantly anchored on either side by highly ornate patinated bronze scrolls. The lower section of the belly of the vase features delicate spire-like motifs. Gracing either lower side, the enigmatic Grecian sphinx figures take their place, distinguished by finely chiseled features and gilded accents that cast an enchanting aura. These sphinxes, characterized by their bearded masks and ornate necklaces, are poised atop masks of mythical males wearing gilt wreaths. These masks, replete with stylized beards and distinctive open mouths revealing a captivating gilt stylized tongue, add an extra layer of intrigue to the composition. The masks are further elevated upon marvelously patinated clawed feet, which, in turn, gracefully support the vase within a quadripartite structure and rest with poise upon a circular base plinth.

The urn features a splendid mid-toned grey uniformly patterned marble, skillfully carved into a rounded bulb. Both the lid and body of the urn gracefully mimic the contours of an egg, lending an harmonious and organic appeal to the overall design. Adorning the base of the body are carved ormolu ferns, beautifully encircling the bottom of the belly as it descends to a marble pedestal that is ringed at the bottom with an ormolu wreath resting atop a stunning cubic stepped deep-green marble plinth.
Crowning the urn is a pineapple finial, exquisitely crafted from ormolu bronze. Encircling the base of this handle, one can admire a delicate ring of foliate ormolu bronze, adding a touch of sophistication to the composition. The handles on either side of the urn are a delightful departure from the conventional, boasting ribbed, angled, and bent-square ormolu designs. This unexpected detail adds a refreshing and distinctive element to the overall aesthetic.
To further enhance its grandeur, the grey marble urn is adorned with ornate and delicate foliate ormolu bronze scrolls. These intricate scrolls gracefully meander along the belly of the urn, lending a sense of opulence and refinement to the piece.
