A pair of urns Italian, late 19th/early 20th century

grey scagliola, on modern faux white marble pedestals



 

Very unusual and surprisingly light. One urn is severed from its base - this should be easy to repair as it is a clean break and the separated components are not heavy. The same has happend to its companion this is evident through an old repair. The knop of the urn which is in two pieces has also been re-attached at some stage. The stands are modern and generally in good order if perhaps a little on the small size for the urns. There are some marks to these stands.
