$6,800

About

Decorate a garden, terrace, or interior conservatory with this impressive pair of antique French cast iron urns crafted circa 1920. Raised on square plinth bases with fluted pedestal stems, each classical campana-form planter features richly molded bodies embellished with floral rosettes, scrolling foliate motifs, and dramatic figural mask handles at the sides. The wide flared rims are dressed with a bold gadrooned edge, adding further depth and architectural presence to the composition.
With each weighing 224 pounds, the substantial urns are heavily cast and beautifully weathered throughout, exhibiting layers of aged oxidation and traces of verdigris that have developed naturally over time. Their richly textured surface and sculptural detailing make them equally striking planted with greenery or displayed as standalone decorative elements.
The antique garden vessels are in excellent condition commensurate with age and outdoor use, and adorn a desirable time-worn patinated finish with warm rust and verdigris tones throughout.
Dimensions: 24″ Diameter x 35.5″H
