Antique English Composite Stone Fruit Basket

About the Item

Antique cast stone fruit urns have a rich history and cultural significance. Historically, these urns decorated gardens, estates, and interior spaces. They originated in ancient civilizations, such as Greece and Rome, where they were often crafted as symbols of fertility, prosperity and an abundance in nature. In more recent history, stone fruit urns became popular during the Renaissance and Baroque periods in Europe. They were often featured in formal gardens and grand estates as ornamental elements, adding a touch of timeless beauty, elegance and sophistication to the landscape. This beauty once adorned an English estate as the pier cap on the gate pillar.
