This classical piece has an ornate urn featuring multiple figures of faces around the diameter, supported by a winged cupid with bow and quiver, raised on a circular base. This piece was modified to be a water feature by a professional Fountaineer. Water enters the urn and pours from the mouths of the surrounding faces, in addition to water sprays upwards from the center of the urn in a fleur de lis/ fan shape. There is a photo in this lot that is edited to give an example of how this looks when it is operating as a fountain. There are signs of wear/use consistent with age that add to its charm including, patina, and verdigris. The piece is heavy and sturdy, the signs of age and use add texture and interest to this lovely piece. Measures: 38.5" H x 18.5" Diameter, Hose attachment 20". Please see all photos for more details and condition.
