Paire de cassolettes en marbre veiné, montures de bronze doré

Un marbre vert profond, presque noir, parcouru de veines blanches comme d'un réseau de givre, forme le corps de ces deux vases couverts. Le bronze doré l'enveloppe sans le masquer. Une pomme de pin couronne le couvercle, les anses s'enroulent en volutes fleuries de rosaces, et sur la panse une figure ailée et drapée se dresse entre deux palmes. Le pied cannelé repose sur une plinthe carrée du même marbre. La lumière glisse sur la pierre polie et s'accroche au relief du métal.

La cassolette est d'abord un brûle-parfum. Dans son bassinet, on dépose braises et pastilles aromatiques, et la fumée s'échappe par un col ou un couvercle ajouré. Le geste est antique, et c'est vers l'Antiquité que se tourne le style Louis XVI lorsqu'il dessine des vases à anses en volutes. Au XIXe siècle, les cassolettes associent volontiers marbre et bronze doré, souvent sur un marbre blanc ; le vert sombre de celles-ci s'écarte de cet usage. Aucun atelier n'est nommé, et la paire n'est rattachée à aucun style défini.

Read in English

A deep green marble, almost black, run through with white veins like a net of frost, forms the body of these two covered vases. The gilt bronze wraps it without hiding it. A pine cone crowns each lid, the handles curl into scrolls set with rosettes, and on the belly a winged, draped figure rises between two palm fronds. The fluted foot stands on a square plinth of the same marble. Light slides across the polished stone and catches on the relief of the metal.

A cassolette is first of all a perfume burner. Embers and scented pastilles were placed in its small basin, and the smoke escaped through a pierced neck or lid. The gesture is ancient, and it was to antiquity that the Louis XVI style turned when it drew vases with scrolled handles. In the nineteenth century cassolettes readily paired marble with gilt bronze, often a white marble; the dark green of this pair departs from that habit. No workshop is named, and the pair is tied to no defined style.
