About the Item
A pair of 240-year-old late 18th century English carved limestone garden urns from Aske Hall, North Yorkshire UK dispersed as part of a three day auction sale in 1994. Aske Hall is an English Georgian country house that originates from as early as the 15th century. It’s gardens and parkland are attributed to Capability Brown, the UK’s most famous landscape designer of the 18th century.
