Description
This pair of important Egyptian porphyry vases is an extraordinary example of elegance and craftsmanship. The finely crafted vases have full-bodied helical pods that give a sense of movement and refinement. The ram’s head-shaped lugs add a classic and distinctive touch, recalling the aesthetics of antiquity. The height of the pots alone is 81 cm, making them imposing and majestic.
The circular columns, also in Egyptian red porphyry, complete the whole with their solid presence. Each column is mounted on a square base in white marble, creating an elegant contrast with the red porphyry. The height of the columns, without the vases, is 123 cm, ensuring an imposing and sophisticated presence.
These vases, together with the columns, represent a unique and precious work of art, ideal for those who want to enrich an environment with elements of great aesthetic and historical value. The combination of Egyptian porphyry and white marble, combined with the detailed workmanship, makes these pieces a testimony to the great tradition of craftsmanship and art.
