Ornate Gilt-Decorated Lidded Urn on Pedestal Base

This is a large, ornate decorative lidded urn or vase, appearing to be crafted from ceramic, possibly porcelain, or resin with a dark, likely black or deep navy, high-gloss finish. It stands on a multi-tiered pedestal base. The body of the urn features extensive gilded decoration, including elaborate frames and intricate scenic panels depicting what appears to be a landscape with trees and perhaps figures or architectural elements, reminiscent of Chinoiserie or classical Rococo artistry. The gilding is detailed with fine lines and scrollwork, suggesting a high level of craftsmanship. The urn is flanked by two substantial, elaborately sculpted handles that curve upwards and outwards, ending in scroll patterns. These handles are attached to the body of the urn beneath decorative elements that might represent grotesque masks or classical faces. The lid is also dark with gilded accents and topped with a prominent finial shaped like a fleur-de-lis, adding to its regal and historical aesthetic. The base is multi-part: a fluted or ribbed neck transitions to a square, ornate platform supported by four scrolled feet, possibly in the shape of lion's paws. The overall color scheme is predominantly dark with rich gold accents, giving it a luxurious and opulent appearance. While the material is not definitively discernible, the size and intricate detailing suggest it is a substantial piece. There are no obvious signs of significant damage or wear visible in the images, though the reflective surface makes it difficult to assess minor imperfections or the exact extent of any patina. The style period leans towards Neoclassical or Revivalist, likely from the late 19th or 20th century, seeking to emulate grand European decorative arts.
