"Straight from the moss-draped gardens of a historic Charleston estate, this monumental cast stone trough planter features a deeply carved Neoclassical frieze of dancing Putti. The relief work is remarkably crisp, capturing a celebratory procession that wraps around the basin, protruding 1.5" from the side surfaces.
What truly sets this piece apart is its magnificent Lowcountry patina. Decades of coastal Southern air have created a lush 'living finish' of velvet moss and silvery lichen, giving it an ancient, storied character that simply cannot be replicated. At 36 inches long, it serves as a commanding focal point for a formal garden or an interior sunroom. A true rescue of Southern architectural history. In the Neoclassical Italian Style"

The interior shows evidence of previous plantings, and the exterior features a heavy, authentic patina of moss and lichen. The drainage holes are clear. Corner crack and sidewall crack in photo. There is minor age-appropriate erosion to the cast stone aggregate, which only enhances its antique garden appeal." less
