This striking late 19th-century figural wine cooler is a masterclass in neoclassical revival design, drawing inspiration from Greco-Roman mythology and classical artistry. The body is richly decorated with chased relief scenes featuring nude figures, celebratory gatherings, and hunting motifs—evoking Bacchanalian festivities and mythological narratives.
The standout feature is the pair of mythological handles, each formed as a powerful figure clutching coiled sea creatures, embodying the dynamic tension and theatrical flair characteristic of neoclassical sculpture. Additional cherub and floral motifs enhance the lower register, while the base is finished with a rounded gadrooned rim and a band of raised ornamentation.
Originally designed as a wine cooler, this piece also functions beautifully as a sculptural centerpiece or statement vessel in a luxury interior. Its commanding form and narrative detailing make it an exceptional collector’s item or decorative highlight for classical-themed or historical interiors.
