Garden furnitures



A 19th century Scottish terracotta garden urn and stand the lappet cast bowl with flowerhead frieze and stiff leaf cast socle, on a square pedestal decorated with oak leaves and acorns, on a plinth base.




A 19th century terracotta garden sundial, the associated bronze dial and gnomon on a fluted short column with ribbon moulded socle, on a square plinth base.




A pair of 19th century Scottish terracotta garden urns, each gadrooned bowl with stiff acanthus frieze and fluted socle, on pedestal moulded with sunken field arches and swagged urns, on a plinth base.

The style is dear to my heart but would not work in my mostly Asian garden. Thanks for the mini lesson in terminology. I don't think I've ever seen pieces like this described in such minute detail; certainly nothing that's made me aware that there are so many more parts than just "the planter on the stand"!

Gorgeous.

The silvered tufts are so wintry. Perfect choice for December.
