Antique cast iron urns
Described by Wikipedia: “Standing 1.52 metres (approximately 5 feet) tall, with a gadrooned everted lip, it has a deep frieze carved with a mythological bas-relief that successfully defies secure identification: a half-draped female figure Iphigenia seated below a statue of a goddess on a high plinth, restored as Diana, with heroic warriors on either side, perhaps Agamemnon and either Achilles or Odysseus standing to either side. Two fluted loop handles rise from satyrs’ heads on either side of the acanthus-leaf carved base, and it stands on a spreading gadrooned base on a low square plinth. » Occasionally antiques are sourced, but mostly it is good quality replicas in cast iron that we can supply.
