Standing an incredible 195 cm high and approximately 130 cm wide each, these are true architectural statement pieces intended for substantial gardens, country estates and grand entrance settings. Their scale is considerably greater than the majority of antique garden urns encountered on the market. Each urn features a broad classical bowl enriched with a prominent egg-and-dart decorated rim, raised upon a substantial socle and highly decorative pedestal base. The combination of classical ornament and monumental proportions gives the pair a commanding architectural presence. Constructed from cast iron, the urns retain a wonderfully aged and weathered surface with extensive natural patination developed through outdoor exposure. This time-worn finish adds tremendous character and provides the authentic appearance particularly sought after in antique architectural garden ornament. Their dramatic proportions make them especially effective positioned as a pair to flank an estate entrance, driveway, staircase or terrace, although either would also make an extraordinary standalone centrepiece within a formal garden. Comparable monumental garden urns with egg-and-dart decoration are recognised as particularly impressive architectural garden features, while examples approaching this scale are considerably less commonly encountered.
