PAIR OF ART DECO CAST-IRON OUTDOOR GARDEN PEDESTALS FOR URNS OR STATUARY
Circa second quarter of 20th century | unmarked
Item # 209LEM16K-2
A most unusual and visually striking pair of cast-iron outdoor garden pedestals for raising planters, urns or statuary. They are sleek and highly modern with long fluting repeating around the gentle curve of the sides, each corner hung with a stylized garland and a hint of the ionic capital. The early white enameled surface is made complex and chaotic with the weathered patina of rust and the effects of the elements on the metal. Note, we my still have another matched pair of these available in our inventory with an overall gray surface, but obviously both pairs could be sand-blasted and powdercoated to perfectly match or look brand new. An eternally stylish and relevant pair of pedestals.
Measurements: 20 5/8" H x 14 1/4" W x 14 1/4" D
Condition Report:
Naturally oxidized, rusted and patinated surface from being weathered outdoors - only small portion of earlier white surface remains. A very fine pair.
