A stately antique French garden urn or architectural finial, carved from solid marble and featuring a weathered, naturally textured surface from years of outdoor exposure. The form is elegantly classical with a domed lid, baluster silhouette, and stepped plinth base. The base retains an original iron bolt, indicating it once crowned a stone gatepost or garden wall. This beautifully aged piece brings a sense of timeless grandeur and historical charm to both interior spaces and exterior garden displays. From the estate collection of the late Michael Joyce and Archie Carter III, Greensboro, North Carolina — known for their discerning eye for 18th and 19th-century European decorative arts. Dimensions: Height: 14" Width: Approx. 6" Depth: Approx. 6" Materials: Carved marble with iron bolt (base)
