    Hello friends,

    there were these two objects in marble.

    Can you help me understand what they are, what were they for and the period ?

    Thank you very much.

    Gianluca

    Once part of a clock garniture, I suspect with bronze figures on top. Animals perhaps.

    Gianluca, I hope that's the same cork in all your photographs or else there's way too much champagne drinking going on at your house!

    Same cork? That's not good either! Hope you soon have the occasion, Gianluca, to open another bottle.
