Each urn features a classical campagna-form body adorned with heavy floral and grapevine swags draped between lion-mask mounts.
The defining feature of this pair is the sculptural handles: each side is flanked by a seated winged cherub (putto) perched atop elegant acanthus leaf scrolls. The cherubs are captured in a contemplative pose, adding a sense of Greco-Roman romance to the silhouette.
The planters rest on fluted, circular socle bases, ensuring stability for large floral arrangements or topiary. Whether used as grand statement pieces for a foyer or as weathering focal points for a terrace, these bronzes offer timeless Old World sophistication. See less
