Set of Four Mid-19th Century French Weathered Painted Iron Medici Vases
About the Item
This elegant set of four 19th-century Medici vases were crafted in France circa 1860 and reflect the timeless grandeur of classical garden design. Made from cast iron, each vessel features the iconic Medici form with a flared lip, fluted body, and squared plinth base, a silhouette rooted in ancient Roman marble originals.
The surface retains traces of its original painted finish, now beautifully aged with time. Soft layers of pale tones and oxidation create a finely mottled texture, lending depth, character, and a sense of history. The worn paint highlights the sculptural contours and emphasizes the vases’ authentic weathered charm.
In excellent condition commensurate with age and outdoor use, this antique set is ideal for flanking a garden path, framing an entryway, surrounding a swimming pool, or enhancing a terrace. Whether used as planters or decorative focal points, they bring enduring elegance and classical French appeal to any refined outdoor setting.

Pair of 19th Century Medici Vases, Hand-Painted Porcelain
Located in Lantau, HK
A set of two crater vases from the second quarter of 19th century, century 1825-1830,
made of porcelain of France, crafted in the factory of Mortelèque in Ixelles (near Brussels),
Belgium and painted by the artist Frédéric Faber (1782-1844).
The model of the crater vase is based on the famed Medici crater in the Uffizi in Florence.
This type of vase was often reserved for lavish gifts among the aristocracy and royal courts
in Europe.
At the Salon of 1815, Faber’s work attracted king William I of the Netherlands
(1772-1843) who eventually named him the court’s official porcelain painter.
