A handsome pair of George III style garden urns on matching pedestal bases, with wonderful classical detailing and a beautifully weathered, antiqued finish.
Of traditional campana form, each urn has an egg-and-dart moulded rim above a waisted body decorated in relief with scrolling foliage, fruit and flowerheads. The gadrooned lower section incorporates classical mask decoration, leading to a shaped knopped stem and fluted socle.
Each urn is raised on a faux-panelled square pedestal, bringing the overall height to 106cm and giving the pair plenty of architectural presence without being overly imposing.
Made from antiqued composite stone, they have developed a lovely established surface from life outdoors, with natural variations in colour, weathering, moss and lichen. It's exactly the sort of finish that allows garden ornament to settle naturally into its surroundings rather than looking newly placed.
They're a particularly useful size for framing a doorway or garden entrance, standing either side of steps, marking the beginning of a path, or creating symmetry on a terrace or within a formal planting scheme. Equally, they would work beautifully positioned amongst looser cottage-garden planting. The urns can of course be planted, although the decorative relief and weathered surfaces give them enough character to work equally well left empty.
Dimensions approx (each): 106cm tall on plinth x 40cm diameter.
Condition: Good vintage condition with age-related weathering consistent with outdoor use. Minor surface wear and natural patination contribute to their character. Please see photos as these form part of the description.
