These beautiful French urns on pedestals are re-editions of 19th century French originals by an unknown manufacturer. The color and consistency of the clay used to make these urns also matches the originals. The color is a rich ochre cream with darker aging. The ornamentation of the urns consists of two lion’s heads and two scrolled handles are at the widest points of the urns. Swags of flower garlands drape gracefully around the urns periphery. Gadrooned lobes cover the undersides of the bodies and the urns’ necks have linear cabochons and reed and ribbon...

This beautiful pair of French urns, measure just over 5 feet tall. Each urn consists of three pieces of cast stone, all with nature-inspired motifs. Both lids are topped with a pinecone finial emerging from a curled leaf cup above two layers of distinct leaves: palmate leaves on a vine on top of thick lanceolate leaves. Curled leaf handles are affixed to each main body (this is the second casting), emerging from a grapevine margent beneath a pair of scalloped shells. The handles terminate on a coil of thick gadrooning beneath a ring of foliage. There is a grapevine swag at the bottom of the bulbous body, just above a lanceolate leaf cup that graces the top of the plinth base, which is the third cast piece. The neck of the base is embellished with recessed fluting in between two foliate circles. To create cast stone items such as this pair of tall and decorative garden urns, crushed stone is combined with cement and poured into a mold, where the combination is allowed to set. Sometimes the artist will introduce a dye to the mixture, in this case a lovely cream coloring agent. After exposure to the elements, the cream finish has developed a truly stunning finish of golden speckles mixed with white, gray, and black patina. Our tall and decorative lidded garden urns...

One hallmark of Gothic architecture was the abundant use of tracery, or geometric latticework in structural designs. Perhaps one of the most readily recognized forms of tracery is the quatrefoil, seen on the side of this pair of octagonal cast garden planters from France. Each side of the planter has a recessed panel with a molded quatrefoil, inserted between two protruding half round rims. The thick bases also have a half round molding above cavetto cornices and a thin, recessed chamfer. A perfect garden accessory that can be used as an ornamental or a functional planter. Originally known as opus Francigenum (Latin for “French work”), it was not until the Baroque period (about 200 years later) that the term “Gothic” was first applied to the easily recognizable structures from 12th-15th century Europe...
