About the Item
A painted neoclassical cast iron stove in the form of a classical urn after a design by Robert Adam attributed to Carron Iron Company circa 1780.

A similar urn can be found on display in the V&A Museum, London of which it is described as “demonstrat(ing) the elegance achievable in cast iron”.
It is of striking scale at over 1m tall and features a pointed finial above bearded mask handles and urn body detailed with paterae and floral swags above turned socle and stepped base. Suitable for garden or interior.
Carron Iron Company
Founded in Falkirk, Scotland, the Carron Iron Company was at the forefront of the industrial revolution during the late 18th and 19th centuries. Established by John Roebuck, Samuel Garbett and William Cadell in 1759, the ironworks specialised in fire surrounds and stoves, employing the Adam brothers and Haworth brothers to create designs. The ironworks existed for over 220 years until 1982 when the company went into receivership.
This neoclassical cast iron stove urn is very similar to a drawing by the Carron Company in the Scottish Record Office attributed to Robert Adam.
