About the Item

This extraordinary pair of monumental 19th Century French Rococo style urns possesses a rare ability to transform a landscape into a formal estate, merging mythology, ornament, and architecture into objects of theatrical presence. Executed in richly finished, deeply patinated black iron with luminous gilt brass mounts, these commanding vessels embody the grandeur of nineteenth-century French design with an undeniable sense of history and permanence. Rising upon substantial, faceted pedestals, the urns feature elegantly molded rims, scrolling relief decoration, and finely cast heraldic cartouches that reveal the remarkable quality of their workmanship. The sculptural gilt mounts provide a striking counterpoint to the polished black surfaces; winged siren figures form the dramatic handles, their graceful bodies appearing to emerge from the vessels themselves, while expressive mascarons punctuate the bodies with theatrical flourish. This juxtaposition of ebonized iron against the warm brilliance of brass creates a captivating interplay of light and shadow. Their impressive scale allows these urns to function as true architectural elements, possessing the same commanding presence found in the great French and Italian estates. Unlike heavily weathered garden ornaments, this pair retains a remarkably crisp surface and refined finish, ensuring the intricate casting and brilliant gilt details remain fully appreciated. Whether positioned at a grand entrance, flanking a garden walk, or anchoring a formal interior, these exceptional urns bring a sense of ceremony, romance, and old-world opulence to their surroundings. At once romantic and undeniably grand, these monumental objects do not merely adorn a space—they define it. Only pair of their kind available globally.

Pair of Hollywood Regency Tall Brass Lotus Lamps by Feldman Lighting circa 1960s

By Feldman Lighting Co.

Located in Saint Louis, MO

Just ask Jennifer Lopez how much she loves her pair of majestic, organic and inspiring tall lotus flower brass lamps famously made by the Feldman Lighting Company beginning in the 1950s. These lamps are show stopper attention seekers. A delicate organic lotus flower silhouette made of glowing brass. As if born from light - each layer representing a season of life - rings of lotus flower petals bloom in size. A symbol of strength and beauty, Lotus flowers can grow in even the harshest conditions and still bloom. Brass petals are embossed with small lines softening the brass and adding more organic detail. They are also malleable and can be gently bent to your pleasure. Black lacquered wood base highlights and anchors the brass elements. Professionally polished bringing back its original glamorous glow and clear coat lacquered to retain it. Works beautifully in any setting from chinoiserie to Hollywood Regency to Contemporary and Eclectic. This tall lotus lamp is rare and sought after by collectors and fans of the Feldman Lighting Lotus Flower Line. Featured in Architectural Digest (last photo). Single lamp also available.
