100M - Magnificent vase

This magnificent and substantial vase exemplifies opulent craftsmanship, seamlessly blending the rich hues of natural malachite with the radiant gleam of 24-carat gold-plated chiseled brass. The body of the urn is meticulously constructed from polished malachite, its characteristic concentric bands of vibrant greens creating a visually captivating surface.

Ornate detailing in heavily gilded brass elevates the piece to a work of art. Prominent features include elaborately framed medallions, likely depicting allegorical scenes, adding a layer of classical narrative. Further embellishment is evident in the sculpted acanthus garlands that gracefully drape across the urn's form, showcasing the artisan's skill in metalworking. The presence of stylized "old man's heads" within the decorative elements, though requiring closer inspection for definitive identification, suggests a design steeped in classical or mythological inspiration.

The urn is further distinguished by its carefully considered structure, featuring a distinct base, body, and rim, each adorned with complementary gilded brass elements that enhance the overall grandeur. This piece serves not only as a decorative object of exceptional beauty but also as a testament to the enduring allure of precious materials and masterful artistry, making it a significant addition to any discerning collection.
