Description
Reclaimed Composite Stone Urn on Octagonal Base 26″H
This reclaimed composite stone urn is a striking garden feature that brings character, history and strength to any outdoor setting. Composite stone is a robust blend of crushed stone and binding agents, designed to replicate the look and durability of natural stone. It offers excellent resistance to weather, while being more versatile to cast into decorative forms. This makes it a superb choice for producing detailed garden features that withstand years of outdoor use.
Decorative garden urns have a long history stretching back to classical antiquity. They were once symbols of status, used in formal gardens and estates across Europe. Over time, urns became popular in domestic gardens, where they remain admired for their graceful proportions and sculptural quality. This reclaimed composite stone urn continues that tradition, while carrying the distinctive marks of age.
Years outdoors have given this composite stone urn a beautifully weathered appearance. Indeed, moss and lichen cling to the surface, softening the stone with natural tones. Additionally, edges show gentle wear, with one gadroon displaying surface damage that reflects authentic use. The gadroon motif itself is a classical design, a repeating convex pattern often seen on urns and vessels. It remains a popular choice for its enduring decorative appeal.
Versatile Sizing
This reclaimed urn sits on a short composite stone fluted pedestal, another classical element that adds height and refinement. Beneath this lies a two tier octagonal base, widening the footprint and providing stability. Altogether, the structure stands over two feet tall, while the urn measures a subtle sixteen inches in diameter. The base is two feet wide, giving balance to the proportions. For practicality, the urn and base are separate, requiring a mortar joint for secure installation. Its size allows for flexibility of location; large garden or small patio.
Choosing a reclaimed composite stone urn brings many benefits. Each piece has a unique patina, impossible to reproduce in new manufacture. This individuality ensures the urn feels rooted in history and place. Using reclaimed garden features also supports sustainability, reducing waste and the demand for new stone. A reclaimed composite stone urn therefore combines durability, classical design and environmental responsibility. It can anchor a garden with presence while carrying the beauty of age.
