Description
Matching circular malachite base with gilt frieze rises.
These extremely refined decorative arts items are the centerpiece for a room with a mantle or banquet decoration assemblage. The contrast of the recently restored gold highly formed decoration and deep forest green malachite are entrancing. These are reminiscent of the high artisan creations designed and executed for the Imperial Russian court and nobility. The lids are mounted for complete body on the finely formed animal supports so in keeping with classic decor. To note: the ram head capitals at the apex of the attenuated tripod.
Issued: 20th Century
Dimensions: 19"H x 6"W
Country of Origin: Russia
