About the Item

This impressive pair of large cast metal figural planters is designed in the manner of the celebrated French sculptor Claude Michel, known as Clodion. Each planter is masterfully detailed with a verdigris patinated finish that enhances their antique appeal. The design features classical male figures in draped garments, standing in dynamic poses as they support wide, basket-form urns above their heads. The bases are richly decorated with neoclassical motifs, including garlands, ribbons, and masks, all raised in relief. Each rests on a sturdy circular plinth accented with paw-like feet, further emphasizing their grand scale and classical style. The verdigris finish gives the pair an aged, timeworn character reminiscent of bronze garden sculptures found in European estates. Perfect for both interior and garden display, these figural planters make a bold statement as decorative urns, jardinières, or sculptural accents. They embody the neoclassical taste of the late 18th and 19th centuries and reflect the influence of Clodion’s work in capturing the grace and vitality of the human form. For collectors, designers, or those seeking architectural statement pieces, this large pair of verdigris figural planters offers both artistry and historic charm.
