Antique garden urns have been used in garden settings for centuries to introduce interest and an element of symmetry. They are often used as decorative objects in their own right, and can be very varied in shape, size, and material.
In terms of symbolism, urns are a symbol of beauty and timelessness and been used as a ubiquitous symbol for furniture, the decorative arts, and architecture during the Neoclassic period.
