Pair of Medici shaped vases in white cast iron

About the Item

This exquisite pair of 19th-century French Medici vases in white cast iron embodies the enduring elegance of classical garden ornamentation. Inspired by the original 16th-century Medici vase from the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, these vases reflect the timeless grandeur of antique forms while showcasing the craftsmanship of the Industrial Revolution. Cast iron, a favored material in the 19th century, was celebrated for its durability, strength, and ability to capture intricate details. These vases, with their sculptural curves and refined proportions, were once prized adornments of grand gardens, terraces, and courtyards. Over time, their surface has acquired a rich patina, adding to their charm and authenticity. Whether placed in a formal garden, entranceway, or veranda, this pair exudes heritage, sophistication, and timeless beauty.
