Pair Of Large Painted Cast-iron Medici Vases – 19th Century

A beautiful pair of cast-iron Medici garden vases resting on a square base. They feature an elegant bell-shaped form with a wide flared neck and fluted body, typical of classical garden ornaments inspired by antiquity.

The vases retain a superb original patina consisting of multiple layers of old paint, now largely cracked and worn by time, revealing the oxidized cast iron in places. This natural weathering gives them exceptional decorative charm and a strong aesthetic presence.

Perfect for both outdoor and indoor use, they can serve as planters or simply as decorative elements in a garden, entryway, orangery, or castle-style setting.
