A Cast Iron "Pomme de Pin", France c.1950

About the Item

This impressive, large French "pomme de pin" garden ornament is made from cast iron and dates to the 1960's. These pinecone forms were originally carved from limestone and found in formal chateau gardens in the 18th century. In the 19th century, new technology allowed cast iron to replace much neoclassical stone carving and cast iron continues to be popular even now. It was originally painted stone grey but most of the finish has rusted off, leaving a rich, aged patina. The piece can be placed outdoors or used displayed inside.
