This exceptional pair of antique French urns is attributed to Philippe Thomire, one of the most celebrated bronze artists of the early 19th century. Executed in the neoclassical style, each urn features finely cast bronze figures—including a classical female figure and a mythological griffin—mounted on elegant marble bases.
The harmonious balance of sculptural bronze and polished marble reflects the refined taste of the French Empire and Restoration periods. These urns were created as statement decorative objects, designed to convey power, mythology, and classical beauty, making them ideal focal pieces for a grand interior or distinguished collection.
