Bidspirit auction | Monumental Cast Iron Figural Garden

Monumental Cast Iron Figural Garden Statuary - A monumental cast iron figural garden group depicting three classically draped female figures arranged in the round, each supporting a large circular basin above their heads. The composition is centered by a richly modeled pedestal adorned with a ram’s head mask and garlanded ornament, all raised on an integral circular base with foliate relief. One figure holds a draped cloth element, adding movement and sculptural contrast to the grouping. Executed in the classical revival taste, the figures display graceful contrapposto stances and flowing drapery. The large upper basin suggests use as a fountain element, though it may also function as a dramatic garden centerpiece or planter. The surface retains a weathered patina consistent with outdoor exposure. 78 in. H, 45 in. Dia. Condition: Heavy weathering and oxidation consistent with outdoor use; surface wear, patina loss, and areas of rust; basin and structure appear intact; functionality as a fountain not tested. Overall presents impressively as a large-scale decorative garden element.
