About the Item

Pair of mid-19th century Neoclassical footed cast iron planters/garden urns by Val d'Osne Foundry, France By: Val d'Osne Foundry Material: iron, metal Technique: cast, molded, metalwork, forged, hammered Dimensions: 12 in x 24 in x 16 in Date: mid-19th century, circa 1845 Style: Neoclassical, Empire Place of origin: France Crafted in mid-19th century France, these Neoclassical iron planters exemplify the mastery of the Val d'Osne Foundry. The pair features a classic urn silhouette with fluted bodies and wide flaring rims adorned with a delicate repeating pattern. The lower sections display vertical ribbing, leading to a gadrooned band above the pedestal. Each planter rests atop a fluted column, which transitions to a square base via a simple stepped collar. The aged patina enhances the intricate details, revealing a harmonious blend of greys and russet tones that speak to their rich history. These substantial pieces showcase the Val d'Osne Foundry's renowned iron casting techniques, developed since its 1835 inception. Under Jean Pierre Andre Victor's vision, the foundry rapidly ascended to prominence, becoming France's preeminent producer of ornamental cast iron. The company's hallmark may be found on the square bases, authenticating their provenance. Epitomizing the Empire style's resurgence of classical forms, these planters would have graced grand gardens or elegant interiors, serving both functional and decorative purposes. Their enduring design and superior craftsmanship continue to captivate collectors and enthusiasts of 19th-century decorative arts. The measurements in the listing refer to both pieces. The dimensions of each individual planter are: Diameter: 12 in (30.5 cm) Height: 16 in (40.6 cm) The piece shows natural wear and a patina developed over time, which is typical for antiques of this kind, enhancing its timeless charm and sophistication.
