Floral Composite Stone Urn 18″

This reclaimed floral composite stone urn brings depth, texture, and history to any garden setting. Crafted from composite stone, it combines durability with refined decorative detail. As a result, it suits both traditional planting schemes and mixed period landscapes.

Composite stone emerged in the nineteenth century as a practical alternative to carved natural stone. Makers blended cement, aggregates, and pigments to replicate classical forms efficiently. Consequently, gardens gained access to robust ornaments without the expense of hand-carved masonry. This heritage makes composite stone ideal for lasting garden features.

This reclaimed composite stone urn displays its floral design, a wide Fleur de Lys motif, around the bowl, repeated four times evenly. Moreover, the same design appears on the plinth, then again in a smaller form at the base. These repeated details create visual rhythm without overpowering surrounding planting.

Reclaimed from a local garden, the urn stood outdoors for many years. Therefore, lichen spotting, environmental discolouration, and small chips now mark its surface. Rather than detract, this patina delivers a weathered aesthetic impossible to recreate with new pieces. As a result, the urn settles naturally into established gardens.

Adaptable Proportions

This floral composite stone urn also offers flexibility in placement and scale. Measuring 47cm in diameter and height, with a 30cm deep bowl, it suits patio corners and entranceways. However, paired with a taller plinth, it can command attention within a larger lawned area.

Using reclaimed garden features offers environmental and design benefits. Reuse reduces waste, avoids new manufacturing, and preserves skilled historic workmanship. Additionally, reclaimed items introduce individuality often missing from mass-produced garden ornaments.

This floral composite stone urn exemplifies those advantages through character and resilience. It blends comfortably with mature landscapes or contrasts gently against modern schemes. Ultimately, a composite stone urn provides authenticity, durability, and visual depth that new garden features rarely achieve.
