A pair of carved white marble campana urns the upper section of each possibly 18th or 19th century

on later bases, each with a flared rim and gadrooned border, the associated stands with turned stems ending on moulded circular bases

Both with chips to the rim, one with extensive damage from an old break to the rim and cracks and areas of replaced marble and cement to where this break has taken place. This wear and damage would support the supposed greater age of the body of each. The later bases are discoloured with chips, one with a series of scratches and the other with a cement repair around the lowers part of the base.
