Ornamental cast iron garden cup, from France, late 19th or early 20th century. It features a classic crater-shaped design on a pedestal, in a linen color with an attractive aged patina that reveals the passage of time.
Inspired by classical antiquity models, these types of cups adorned gardens, terraces, and courtyards of European stately homes and palaces, where they were used as ornamental planters or sculptural elements at entrances and in flowerbeds.
The marks of time are part of its beauty.
The piece is well-preserved, having gracefully withstood the test of time. Like all antique pieces, it may show slight signs of use, patina, or minor irregularities characteristic of its history, features that enhance its authenticity and make it a unique object.
Measurements: 32 cm high x 24.5 cm diameter.
