This impressive 32-inch-tall lidded urn is a masterclass in Neoclassical design, perfectly suited for high-end Mediterranean or Regency-inspired estates. The piece features twin handles masterfully modeled as winged sphinxes, a signature motif of the Empire style. The heavy-cast terracotta body is adorned with a deep, high-relief basketweave pattern, accented by a thick braided rope collar and a fluted acanthus leaf base.
The urn is finished with a sophisticated multi-layered verdigris and bronze patina that gives it the weighted presence of aged metal. Its removable lid is topped with a detailed acanthus finial, allowing the piece to serve as either a closed sculptural silhouette or a dramatic architectural planter.
