Pair of 19th Century Cast Iron Urns on Marbleized Pedestals

About the Item

This lovely pair of Campania form urns on painted and marbleized bases are from the 19th century. The urns show more wear and surface than the pedestals and both were used indoors as planters in an entry hall when we purchased them. The urns cast in iron are most certainly English and retain an old surface. The form is an ancient form that is closely related to the neoclassic movement started in the late 18th century but used throughout the 19th century. The casting is crisp with details or a modified egg and dart border around the top edge. The belly of the urn is deeply ribbed and the handles are cast separately to get a clean clear casting then attached after the finished piece is assembled. The pedestals are of the same age and show evidence of old paintwork but the marbleizing is of a later vintage. While they are usable right away the pair could be repainted or changed to accommodate any color scheme desired. Condition Disclosure: While we do our best to carefully inspect and give a full report on the condition of any item we sell, pointing out any repairs or alterations that may have been done to the best of our knowledge, as is the case with any antique and vintage item, there is a possibility that at some point in the life of the piece that there may have been damaged which has been professionally repaired and as such a repair undetectable, it is therefore impossible for us to disclose... we recommend that you also read and agree to the 1st dibs user agreement, particularly sections 9,13,15,18,19 and 27
