Pair of Cast Iron Mini Urns

A beautifully weathered pair of antique cast iron urns, dating from around 1890–1920.

Cast in the traditional campana form, each has a gently flared rim with an egg-and-dart border and a finely gadrooned body. Their compact proportions make them particularly versatile — equally at home planted with herbs or small seasonal specimens, or simply enjoyed as objects in their own right.

The iron has acquired a rich, naturally weathered surface over time, with traces of an aged blue patina that add to their quiet character.

A lovely pair for bringing a little age and architectural detail to a garden, terrace or interior.

Condition

Beautifully weathered antique condition, with surface marks, patina and variations consistent with age and outdoor use. The colouring varies naturally across both pieces, adding to their character.

Please see photographs for further detail.

Use

Ideal for small seasonal planting, herbs or succulents.

Their compact size also makes them useful beyond the garden — styled on a console, mantelpiece, shelf or garden table as decorative objects.

Notes

We love them for their scale, symmetry and beautifully faded colour — just enough formality, with plenty of age.

As vintage-style decorative objects, these pieces are final sale and non-returnable.
