Huge Limoges Urn with Reticulated Cover Hand Painted Roses Restored

  
If you are a lover of all things rare and Victorian then this Piece should catch your eye! The background colors of various shades of green have been embellished with ornate raised gold paste designs and beautifully hand painted pink and yellow roses. The urn alone stands 15 ¼ inches to the rim, and when covered 20 ½ inches to the tip of the finial. The urn measures 8 ½ inches across the widest diameter and 6 ½ inches across the opening and base. This beautiful urn was once drilled as a lamp. The finial in the reticulated cover has been replaced with a brass flame finial as shown. The hole in the base of the urn has been repaired so that it now holds water or more likely pot pourri. With these restorations, the urn remains in excellent condition and is totally free of nicks, chips, cracks, or other damage with the exception of minor gold wear around the base as photographed. Please examine all of the photographs as they are considered part of the description and feel free to ask any questions that you may have.
