Antique French Marble Urn with Ram Handles and Brass Mounts, c.1900

Description

Step into the opulence of Belle Époque France with this monumental French marble urn, often referred to as a “casserole” in antique décor terms. Dating to around 1900–1910, this majestic piece is a true celebration of craftsmanship, combining richly veined yellow marble with ornately detailed brass mounts and embellishments.

Weighing a substantial 35 kg and standing 68 cm tall, this urn makes a breathtaking statement wherever it’s placed—entryway, fireplace, or display pedestal. The fluted brass garlands and ram’s head handles are classical in style, hinting at a Napoleonic or Second Empire influence, while the domed lid is crowned with a dramatic pomegranate (granatapfel) finial—a symbol of abundance and prestige.

Though there are some age-related cracks and small chips, these are barely noticeable and do not compromise the structure or charm of this heirloom-quality piece. French in origin, this urn is perfect for lovers of grand antiques, maximalist interiors, and classical European artistry.
