Large Italian Baroque-Style Bronze/Brass Urn With Serpent Handles

patina throughout. The bulbous body is densely relief-cast with layered acanthus leaves and stylized foliate banding, rising to a wide fluted neck and dramatic scrolled rim with egg-and-dart detailing. Twin sculptural handles in the form of coiling serpents/vines add real presence and movement to the silhouette. Labeled "Del Bianello" with a crest-form maker's badge to the base — likely a mid-late 20th century Italian decorative import rather than an antique cast piece, given the construction. A striking, oversized decorative object for a mantel, entry table, or as a dramatic dried-floral vessel. 12" diameter x 16"h.
