Decorative Antique French Urn

This is a listing for one antique French decorative garden urn or planter, with a choice of wear available.

Designed to be used as planters in the garden, both these urns are highly decorative pieces. They could continue to be used as pieces of gardenalia, but they would be equally at home used inside the house as a centrepiece, perhaps with dried flowers in. Please note that they each have holes in their bases for drainage so it would not be suitable to use this as planters inside.

They are both heavy and stable decorative pieces. The left urn clearly shows more signs of wear and age, being covered in oxidisation which has created a unique timeworn colouring and patina. While there is some wear and oxidisation to the rims on the right hand urn, the black colour is strong on this example and the pattern to the top rim and ribbed detail of the more bulbous section is more evident on this. The inside of this urn has more wear, from where it has been planted up over the years.

Apart from the obvious wear, having been used as intended as planters outside for many years, they are otherwise in very good sturdy condition. They are each very heavy too, weighing more than 3kg each.
