19th Century French Painted Iron Urn with Forged Art Bush Decor

About the Item

This antique gadrooned urn composition was crafted in France circa 1880 and is made of solid cast iron. At its center rises a dramatic arrangement of hand-forged barbed iron spikes, artfully shaped to resemble a thorny bush with sharp, arrowhead-like tips. The contrast between the classical Medici style urn and the bold, sculptural ironwork creates a striking visual tension, blending traditional design with gothic flair. The garden decor is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use and adorns a patinated white and blackened finish with evidence of outdoor use. Ideal for courtyards, gardens, or as an interior statement piece, this unique urn sculpture works beautifully as a standalone object or integrated into a larger architectural or landscape design. Its commanding presence and timeless materials make it a versatile and captivating addition to both classic and contemporary spaces. Weighs 77 pounds! Measures: 22.5" W x 21" D x 44" H.

19th Century French Painted Ceramic Barbotine Jardinière with Floral Decor
Located in Dallas, TX
This elegant colorful hand painted Majolica planter was sculpted in Montigny sur Loing, France, circa 1860. The ceramic jardinière with root shape handles features high relief soft pink, blue and beige rose flowers with pale green leaves, and brown and grey background. The ceramic vase is in good condition commensurate with age and use (minor chips on few petals). Impressionist ceramics term generally applies to "paint the slip" or "batch gouache". At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the towns of Montigny-sur-Loing and Marlotte are many artists living places like Jean-Baptiste Corot, Eugène Thirion (1839-1910), Adrien Schulz (1851-1931), Numa Gillet (1868-1940) and Lucien Cahen-Michel (1888-1980), all attracted by the quality of the landscape and the light. When Eugene Schopin founded in 1872 a ceramics factory, he worked with the painters to create a range of designs inspired by Impressionism and decorated according to new public demands. Several ceramic factories will develop around this Impressionist movement. The most famous, such as Georges Delvaux (1834-1909), Albert Boué (1862-1918) and Charles Alphonse Petit (1862-1927), will produce until 1922. Other manufacturers, such as Theodore Lefront...
