Found in the heart of Avignon, this antique cast iron Medici urn feels like it’s straight out of a story. Its gadrooned bell shape and weathered white patina hint at decades spent outdoors, maybe in a garden bursting with lavender or lining the courtyard of a grand Provençal home. You can almost picture it—filled with cascading greenery, catching the sunlight as life moved around it. Its surface, beautifully worn with time, tells a quiet story of its past. The subtle chips and faded patina are the kind of details you only get from years of living outside, standing steady through changing seasons.
