Pair of large ornamental cast iron craters from the late 19th century. From France, they feature a spectacular patina in green and turquoise tones and an impressive crackled finish naturally acquired over decades. Pieces with a strong presence that provide an air of timeless elegance.
Inspired by classical antiquity models, these types of cups were used in gardens and terraces of aristocratic and bourgeois homes, where they served as planters or sculptural elements that organized outdoor spaces.
The marks of time are part of their beauty.
The piece is in good condition, having elegantly withstood the passage of time. Like all antique pieces, it may show slight signs of use, patina, or small irregularities inherent to its history, features that enhance its authenticity and make it a unique object.
Measurements: 34 cm high x 52 cm in diameter.
