Pair of Louis XVI Cassolettes with Rams Heads, Hoofed Feet, and Abundant Details

This Pair of French 19th century Louis XVI cassolettes feature a beautiful white marble and are adorned with magnificent bronze mounts. The details are abundant and include a bronze pineapple finial over leaves, finely chiseled garlands over which beautifully detailed rams’ heads rest, fruited vines, acanthus leaves, and ribbon work. The pieces are supported by three hoofed legs, incredibly detailed themselves, with even more bronze work at the base. The pair is an elegant combination of finely chiseled bronze and marble, and are poised to bring a stately French element to a new home.
