Vintage Empire Revival Wood and Gilt Brass Urn Vase 17 Inch Neoclassical Hollywood Regency Mantel Accent with Ornate Handles and Finial
This is a substantial size and weight vase.
This is a large vintage Empire Revival urn-form vase measuring 17.5 inches tall and 5.5 inches wide, crafted from dark-stained hardwood with gilt brass decorative mounts, including twin foliate handles, an acanthus leaf collar, and a flame finial lid. The vase is mounted on a stepped wooden pedestal.
The design follows classical French Empire and early 19th-century neoclassical motifs, adapted for mid-20th-century interior décor. The dark polished wood provides warmth and gravitas, while the golden brass mounts add opulence and contrast, evoking the grandeur of ormolu-mounted bronzes from the Napoleonic era.
Empire Revival and Hollywood Regency pieces like this emerged strongly in the 1950s–1970s, appealing to collectors of neoclassical glamour. Italian and French workshops frequently produced high-quality urns using wood bodies and gilt metal fittings to emulate earlier bronze and marble designs.
This form and scale are consistent with luxury decorative firms such as Maison Jansen, Deknudt, or Florentine ateliers, catering to European and American designers. The height Approx. (17.5”) makes it ideal as a statement urn for mantels, consoles, or credenzas, often used in symmetrical pairs for visual balance.
