Articles
A pair of decorative cassolettes in Siena marble and bronze with a golden patina, dating from the Restoration period, first half of the 19th century. The cup is decorated with gadroons and an egg-and-dart frieze around the rim; the side handles are fluted; it rests on a foliate pedestal base.
These cassolettes rest on square bases of yellow Siena marble, also enhanced with a frieze of stylized egg-and-dart motifs at the bottom.
These casseroles are in good overall condition, with some signs of wear and tear.
Note: some chips on the edges of the marble at the bottom (see last photos), some scratches and wear on the patina, wear of time, see photos.
