Fine Pair of 19th Century French Gilt Bronze and Onyx Tazzas Compotes

Elegant and finely cast pair of 19th century French Neoclassical style gilt bronze tazzas/compotes beautifully mounted with translucent white onyx tops and matching inset panels to the bases.

The richly detailed bronze work features classical motifs, including ram’s head mounts, classical female masks inspired by Roman antiquity, floral garlands, and tripod supports, all executed in warm, original gilding. The luminous onyx, with its natural veining and soft translucency, creates a striking contrast against the gilt bronze.

A highly decorative and versatile pair, ideal for mantel, console, or center display.
