Large Regency Period Cast Iron Tazza Garden Urn c.1820 – Provenance to The White Swan, Harrogate

A striking and highly atmospheric Regency-period cast iron tazza garden urn, dating to circa 1820, presented in beautifully untouched original condition. This substantial piece exemplifies early 19th-century English garden ornamentation, with its classical tazza form, deep bowl, and elegant pedestal base.

 

Richly aged with layers of original surface, lichen, moss, and natural weathering, the urn carries the unmistakable character that only two centuries of outdoor history can impart. Of particular note is its documented provenance to The White Swan, Harrogate, adding a compelling layer of historical significance and collectability.

 

A rare survivor of the Regency era, this urn works equally well as a dramatic focal point in a formal garden, courtyard, or orangery, or as an architectural statement piece indoors.
