Made from cast iron, each vessel features the iconic Medici form with a flared lip, fluted body, and squared plinth base, a silhouette rooted in ancient Roman marble originals.
The surface retains traces of its original painted finish, now beautifully aged with time. Soft layers of pale tones and oxidation create a finely mottled texture, lending depth, character, and a sense of history. The worn paint highlights the sculptural contours and emphasizes the vases’ authentic weathered charm.
In excellent condition commensurate with age and outdoor use, this antique set is ideal for flanking a garden path, framing an entryway, surrounding a swimming pool, or enhancing a terrace. Whether used as planters or decorative focal points, they bring enduring elegance and classical French appeal to any refined outdoor setting.
Each measures: 15" diameter x 18.75"H See less
