Set of Cast Iron Vases on Pedestal 1.60 m

Set of two imposing, antique cast iron garden urns. This impressive pair, resting on monumental column bases, is a true eye-catcher for lovers of classic garden and park designs.

Description and details:

Material: This set is crafted from high-quality cast iron, ensuring substantial weight and stability, as well as unparalleled durability.

Design (urns): The urns are a masterpiece of classic casting. The bowls are decorated all around with highly detailed reliefs depicting a lively, figurative scene in a neoclassical style – dancing and musical putti (cherubs) holding garlands and celebrating a Bacchus-like feast. The rims are flared and ribbed, flanked by intricately curved handles decorated with leaves. The flat, ribbed lower half of the urn transitions into a short, profiled base.

Design (base): The massive, square column bases reflect the grandeur of the urns. On each side of the base, an impressive, deeply carved relief of a roaring lion's head can be seen, surrounded by a dense wreath of oak leaves and heraldic elements. The base features a solid, stepped foundation and a profiled top. Each vase is detachable (2 parts).

Condition: The set is offered as "used," which adds to its charm. It displays an authentic, aged patina, ranging from dark iron to rich, oxidized copper green, particularly in the recesses of the reliefs. This natural aging emphasizes the depth of the woodcarvings and lends the pieces a venerable, historical character. The structure is robust and intact, without significant damage. Minor irregularities and surface wear are part of the antique authenticity.

Features & Use:

This set is a true showpiece. With a height of 1.60 meters, it is large enough to serve as a monumental pair of entrance portals, as a central focal point in a formal garden, or on a stately terrace. The rich details of the reliefs are enchanting from every angle.

Whether displayed as standalone works of art or planted with hanging plants such as ivy or geraniums, these urns exude timeless elegance and represent an investment that will last for generations.
