Pair of Important Russian Gilt Bronze and Metal Vases, Circa 1820 – A Masterpiece of Neoclassical Elegance Available for Cryptocurrency Purchase

This extraordinary Pair of Important Russian Gilt Bronze and Metal Vases from circa 1820 represents the pinnacle of Russian neoclassical artistry, combining monumental scale, exquisite craftsmanship, and rich mythological storytelling. Standing at an impressive height of 98 cm (38.59 in) and a width of 43 cm (16.93 in), these twin vases are exceptional both in presence and historical significance.

Crafted from gilt bronze and metal, each vase features twin scrolled handles adorned with delicate leaf and foliate motifs, culminating in ormolu rims with classic egg-and-dart patterns. The ovoid bodies are enhanced with thick ormolu bands beneath the waisted necks, twin dog heads at the base of the handles, floral and star decorations, and classical masks entwined with elegant foliate scrolls. Each vase rests upon a square plinth base with socle form, fluted ribbing, and scrolled foliate embellishments, offering a visually commanding and balanced composition.

The richly detailed metal bodies, set against a deep burgundy ground, depict intricate neoclassical relief scenes inspired by classical mythology. On one vase, a woman draped in flowing classical fabric plays two flutes while a baby stands on a pedestal behind her and a satyr dances nearby. The companion vase presents a complementary scene: the baby riding on the satyr’s back while the woman guides its balance. These scenes evoke Bacchic symbolism, celebrating festivity, fertility, and the pleasures of life, deeply rooted in Greek mythological traditions.

Heavily influenced by the neoclassical style that dominated late 18th and early 19th-century Russia, these vases exemplify technical mastery and artistic refinement. Every ormolu mount, every sculptural detail, and every hand-applied decoration showcases the superior craftsmanship of the period, making this pair not only a stunning decorative statement but also a significant collectible.
