A Fine Pair of Louis XVI Style White Marble and Ormolu Cassolette Lamps
An exquisite pair of 19th-century French cassolette table lamps in the refined Louis XVI taste. Crafted from Carrara-style white marble, the ovoid bodies are draped with finely chased ormolu (gilt-bronze) floral swags and flanked by delicate scrolling handles.
Originally conceived as decorative perfume burners—designed to hold fragrant pastilles—these pieces have been expertly converted into table lamps. The marriage of cool white marble and radiant gilt-bronze reflects the 18th-century fascination with classical antiquity. With their substantial weight and elegant silhouette, they serve as perfect symmetrical anchors for a grand console or mantelpiece.
