About the Item

19th-Century German Bronze Footed Urn with Avian Reliefs and Gargoyle Motifs Exquisite 19th-century German bronze urn featuring six intricately cast panels depicting naturalistic scenes of birds amid blossoming branches and reeds. Each panel is framed by subtle raised borders and separated by finely modeled projections that add depth and texture to the vessel. The urn stands on three sculptural feet resembling stylized gargoyles or mythical beasts, their expressive visages lending a dramatic architectural presence. The piece exhibits a rich patina of dark bronze and burnished gold highlights, emphasizing the sculptural relief and age-earned character. Both decorative and evocative of the Romantic fascination with nature and mythology, this urn reflects the detailed craftsmanship of late-19th-century European metalwork.
