Featured Antique Cast Iron Urns - Victorian? Vatican? almost 6' tall

Im going to try to sell for pickup locally in West Palm Beach area of Florida. All the info the forum provided has been helpful and so greatly appreciated. If anyone has recommendation for how to price them, I'm all ears!

 

I would suggest contacting a local auction house (or two) to see what they think they could sell them for. At least that would give you an idea of the local market. They are lovely.

 

Thanks, great idea!!

 

No reason to think these are not old, most likely Victorian. Would not sell them short. Closest comparable I could find is this damaged pair that sold for $1000.00. I like yours much better.

I like the idea of consulting a good auction house.

 

I'd still like to know why the lions have their mouths open?

 

WOW! Thanks for this amazing info! I'm trying to find a good auction house locally that can help. Really appreciate the research you did and shared - thanks!

 

Thank you to EVERYONE on this thread who helped me with information! Really appreciate the group. Hoping to sell these at auction or privately before the end of October. Will be sure to post if I find out any more origin details along the way. Stay safe, be well everyone.

 

Why not? Maybe they're roaring.

 

Or panting.
