The Empire Stone Garden Urn is a 550mm tall cast stone planter with a classical scroll motif around the rim. It weighs 60kg and arrives with three lion claw pot feet included. This is a traditional garden centrepiece built to last.
Cast from reconstituted stone, the Empire Urn arrives with a naturally aged finish. The surface texture encourages moss and lichen growth within months of outdoor placement. Over time, it develops the look of a genuine antique piece.
The scroll detailing around the top of the urn is made possible by the cast stone manufacturing process. Every curve and line is crisp and well-defined. The three lion claw feet give the urn a raised, period-correct stance on any hard surface.
The planting area measures 500mm deep by 360mm wide. That is enough space for trailing ivy, geraniums, or seasonal bedding displays. Add a layer of gravel or broken crocks to the base before filling with compost for proper drainage.
Available in two colours: Aged Cotswold (a warm, honey-toned stone finish) and Burnt Umber (a richer, darker tone). Both colours suit traditional, cottage, and period garden settings.
At 60kg, this urn will not shift in strong winds or topple easily. The weight also makes it a practical choice for front garden displays where security matters.
Frequently asked questions
Can I plant directly into the Empire Stone Garden Urn?
Yes, the urn has a 500mm x 360mm planting area. Add drainage material to the base before filling with compost. Trailing plants, bedding, and small shrubs all work well in urns of this size.
Will the Empire Urn crack in frost?
Cast stone is naturally frost resistant when properly drained. Ensure water can escape the planting area during winter. Standing water that freezes and expands is the main risk to any stone planter.
What surfaces can the Empire Urn stand on?
Any flat, hard surface is suitable. The three lion claw feet provide a stable base on patio slabs, stone plinths, gravel paths, or decking. Avoid placing it directly on soft soil.
