Highly important, palatial and monumental pair of late 19th century imperial Egyptian porphyry gilt bronze-mounted urns. The rarity & importance of these magnificently grand sized & opulent pair cannot be overstated, they are without question the finest example you will see. The Royal Porphyry is of superb quality, with a beautiful purity in the figuration. The gilt bronze mounts give a delightfully draped flow & exhibit the fullest grandeur, adding to the true majesty of these incredible masterpieces. The central section on both sides bear gorgeous opposing gilt bronze mounts of the Roman Goddess Flora, allowing these magnificent urns the opportunity to also be displayed centrally.
