Description

Small Reclaimed Composite Stone Urn 20″ x 17″

This small reclaimed composite stone urn brings proven durability and gentle character to courtyards, patios, and compact gardens. Composite stone emerged in Britain during the late nineteenth century as manufacturers refined earlier reconstituted stone techniques. Makers blended crushed natural stone with cement and binders to achieve strength, consistency, and fine decorative detail.

Consequently, composite stone became popular for garden urns, statuary, and architectural features. Today, a small reclaimed composite stone urn shows why this material remains ideal for exposed outdoor settings. It withstands frost, heavy rain, and fluctuating temperatures without rapid deterioration.

Measuring 52cm in diameter and 42cm tall, this urn supports shrubs and generous planting comfortably. Importantly, it suits small courtyards or patios without dominating surrounding space. Placing it on a weathered plinth adds further visual presence while retaining balanced proportions. Of sturdy construction, the urn weighs 30kg, therefore offering stability for taller planting displays.

Proven Durability

This small reclaimed composite stone urn comes from a Northamptonshire garden with years of exposure. Surviving harsh UK weather demonstrates the material’s long-term resilience. Over time, the surface developed an authentic aged patina that modern reproductions struggle to copy. Environmental discolouration, moss, lichen, and surface wear confirm its genuine outdoor history. Minor chips soften edges naturally, while two visible cracks enhance the sense of age. Such features create depth and interest without compromising structural integrity.

Classical decoration includes gadroons and flutes that break up the otherwise plain surface. This detailing remains restrained, ensuring planting remains the primary visual focus. As a result, foliage and blooms sit comfortably within a calm, supportive container.

Choosing a small reclaimed composite stone urn reduces demand for new resource-intensive manufacturing. Therefore, reuse helps lower environmental impact and preserves quality materials already made. Reclaimed garden features also introduce maturity into newly arranged outdoor spaces. They integrate easily with planting, paving, and older architectural elements. Unlike new products, aged surfaces avoid looking artificial or overly uniform. A small reclaimed urn offers sustainability, durability, and quiet visual interest.
