Pair of Second Empire ornamental goblets, in marbled red marble, with moldings and handles in gilded bronze. They consist of an ovoid belly, which rises on a square base and a foot decorated with a laurel wreath in bronze. The wings present a vegetal work based on foliate type chiseled work. The lid has a bronze knob in the shape of an acorn. The branches and leaves are worked with precision. The whole is fully inserted in the aristocratic neoclassicism.
