Large decorative urn featuring a deep red glass body mounted within an elaborate gilt-tone metal framework. The upper bowl is richly adorned with applied figural relief panels depicting classical-style male and female figures surrounded by foliate and vine motifs. The rim is encircled by pierced metalwork and topped with sculptural bird finials perched along the edge. Twisted and scrolling metal handles extend from the sides, incorporating mask and foliate elements. The lower section transitions into a pedestal-style base with additional scrolling handles, ornamental detailing, and a stepped circular foot. A highly decorative statement piece suited for floor display or prominent placement in a traditional or classical interior.
Condition

Gilt metal mounts show light rubbing, patina, and small areas of finish wear consistent with age and handling, particularly on raised decorative elements including the figures, birds, and scrollwork. Structure appears intact and stable. See photos for more condition details.
