A refined and elegant pair of French neoclassical bronze and ormolu ewers, crafted in the mid to late 19th century. Each piece showcases exceptional artistry, combining richly gilt ormolu mounts with finely executed diamond-cut glass bodies. The classical silhouette is elevated by elaborate exterior decoration featuring grape and vine motifs—symbols of abundance frequently used in neoclassical design. Each ewer is fitted with a single sculpted handle and rests on a round, stepped base, creating a balanced and graceful profile. The interplay between the warm gilt bronze and the sparkling cut glass adds depth and sophistication, making the pair a commanding decorative presence. Their scale and craftsmanship allow them to stand beautifully on mantels, consoles, dining buffets, or as focal points in a display cabinet. These ewers are in good condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, and without any cracks, chips, or repairs observed. Each piece measures approximately 16.5 inches high, 11 inches wide, and 6.5 inches deep.
