About the Item
A refined and decorative pair of Sheraton period cutlery urns, dating to the late 18th century, showcasing the balance and precision of English neoclassicism. Each urn features a domed lid topped with a finely turned finial, and is richly detailed with feather-banded boxwood, satinwood, and ebony vertical inlay—a sophisticated play of tone and symmetry that reflects the high craftsmanship of the Georgian period.
Resting on turned socles over hexagonal plinth bases with elegant ogee bracket feet, these urns were originally designed to store and display cutlery in grand dining rooms, their interiors now missing. Though their function has shifted, their sculptural quality and commanding silhouette remain fully intact.
Today, designers increasingly use objects like these as deliberate contrasts in modern interiors—injecting classical references into clean, minimal spaces to create visual tension and narrative richness. Placed atop a sleek console, in a contemporary bookcase, or anchoring a bold entryway, these urns become unexpected focal points, drawing the eye and provoking dialogue between past and present.
Designers such as Steven Gambrel, Rose Uniacke, Darryl Carter, or Alfredo Paredes might incorporate such pieces to introduce history, material warmth, and a moment of surprise. Their rigorous formality becomes playful when set against concrete, raw linen, or steel—reminding us that antiques need not be quiet or reverent. In the right hands, they become sculptural objects with soul.
A graceful, architectural pair that bridges centuries—part historical artifact, part statement piece—with enduring appeal for the classically curious and the fearlessly modern.
