A pair of Regency tole peinte chestnut urns in burnt ember red. One side shows cows on a hillside and the other side shows a man with a horse in front of a windmill. Lion head mask handles on either side. A banded flower motif is around the lid and the top of the urn.
WHY WE LOVE IT: Chestnut urns are one of those great British decorative items that really look great on a table scape or on a mantel.
