Know before you buy
No, the variegated marble urn is removable. This allows you to easily clean it or use the pedestal surface for other decorative items if you prefer.
The urn is suitable for greenery, but because it is made of natural marble, you should use a liner if you plan to hold water for fresh flowers to prevent potential staining or moisture seepage.
The pedestal weighs 63 lbs and features a sturdy iron construction with claw feet, making it very stable for indoor use. It is designed to be a substantial, permanent fixture in your home.
This pedestal is crafted from foundry iron and finished with an antique wash, which is best preserved in a climate-controlled indoor environment. We recommend keeping it away from harsh outdoor elements to prevent oxidation or finish degradation.
The pedestal stands at 30.5 inches tall. The total height will vary slightly depending on the specific dimensions of the included marble urn.
