A pair of large Louis XVI style gilt-bronze mounted verde antico marble baluster vases circa 1900

applied with flower festooned rams masks handles, on fluted ribbon and leaf cast circular socles and square bases, adapted as lamps

Very decorative and of a good bold size. Adapted as lamps and due to fitting as such lacking lids and drilled for electricity. Ingrained dirt to cast detail and tarnishing and wear to gilding. These will need to be checked by a qualified electrician.
