Maison Boudet A pair of Louis XVI style gilt-bronze mounted rouge griotte de Campan cassolettes Paris, circa 1890

each decorated to the front and back with a female mask flanked by acanthus cast handles, one base signed Boudet Paris.

Overall good condition. Minor chips to marble in places especially around the edges. There is one repair to the marble around one base of approximately 1 inch below the acanthus cast border. Some tarnishing and oxidation to gilt-bronze. One mask will need to be tightened back as the screw attaching the mask from the back is lacking.
