19th Century Neoclassical Malachite Vase or Urn
This beautiful ancient bronze and malachite vase was brought to the workshop in pieces. The 19th century neoclassical Russian vase is part of a set of two pairs. The vase was severely cracked and broken. And there was close to a hundred pieces that needed to be glued. But thanks to the expert craftsmanship of Mark Fry, this masterpiece has been restored and is now ready for display.
This vase is a truly stunning piece of art that represents history and it is sure to impress anyone who sees it.
