19th Century French Bronze Trophy Urn on Marble Base

A commanding 19th-century bronze and marble artillery trophy, rich in symbolism, craftsmanship, and historic gravitas. This sculptural centerpiece features a deeply patinated bronze bowl adorned with laurel wreaths, banners, and raised cartouches—motifs long associated with victory, honor, and military distinction. The relief panels appear to reference martial themes, suggesting a commemorative or ceremonial origin rather than utilitarian use.

The bronze is beautifully cast with crisp detailing throughout, from the layered foliage to the sculpted emblems, all resting atop a substantial green marble base that adds contrast, weight, and architectural presence. The elevated stem and wide bowl form give the piece a strong, balanced silhouette—making it equally suited as a decorative object, centerpiece, or collector’s display.

Likely created as a presentation or commemorative trophy, this piece embodies the grandeur and symbolism of European military tradition, while its materials and form lend it timeless decorative appeal. A striking object for libraries, studies, or grand interiors—bringing history, depth, and old-world authority into the home, where history truly finds haven.
