This pair of urns are after one of thirteen different pairs of urns of larger size made for the marble parapets separating the Parterre du Nord from the Parterre du Midi at Versailles, where they are still in position. Claude Ballin (1615-1678), goldsmith to Louis XIV was commissioned to design the ensemble which were then modelled by Legendre, Magniere, Tuby and Anguier and cast by Duval after 1665.
