Pair of Antique Garden Planters, English, Outdoor Display Urn - Victorian c.1850

This is a large pair of antique garden planters. An English, cast iron outdoor display urn from the time of the Great Exhibition, dating to the Victorian period, circa 1850. Excellent early Victorian display pieces, ideal for a grand garden setting, presenting a desirable aged patina and in authentic, time-worn order. Impressively weathered from a century and a half of outdoor display. Substantial cast iron, with naturally weathered finish in a palette of browns and greys. Egg and dart relief casting accentuates the broad, flared rim. Urn form detailed around the circumference and upon the collars. Stood upon gently tapered plinths, with raised sections for the urn to rest against. In two parts for ease of placement, the urn and plinth weigh a combined 63kg (138.9 lb). Both the urn and plinth featuring drainage for planter use. This is a fascinating pair of antique garden planters, bearing the proportion and grandeur so typical of the period. Pleasingly weathered from many years situated outdoors, this substantial pairing will add a distinguished 19th century elegance to your garden. Delivered ready to display.
