Traditional Cast Iron Medici Urn
Elevate your space with the enduring beauty of our Cast Iron Medici Urn, a masterpiece crafted with meticulous attention to detail using traditional sand casting methods. This urn is the product of a sophisticated process that merges artisanal craftsmanship with advanced foundry techniques, creating a decorative piece that is as durable as it is elegant.
The production begins with the creation of precision molds, hand-crafted from wax and wood, materials chosen for their ability to capture intricate details while maintaining structural integrity. Wax is used to replicate fine design elements, ensuring every curve and line of the urn’s fluted body is rendered with exceptional accuracy. Wood, known for its strength and workability, provides a robust base for the larger structural components. These molds are then used to form high-grade silica sand casings, carefully packed to preserve every detail.
Molten cast iron is heated to precisely controlled temperatures before being poured into the sand molds. This stage demands exceptional skill to ensure the molten metal flows evenly into every recess, perfectly reproducing the urn’s intricate features. After cooling, the solidified casting undergoes a rigorous cleaning process, including sandblasting, grinding, and hand-finishing, to remove residual sand and refine its surface.
Once the raw casting is prepared, it is treated with an advanced grey patina finish. This process involves multiple layers of coating and hand-polishing to achieve a sophisticated, weather-resistant surface that enhances the urn’s aesthetic appeal while protecting it against corrosion.
Standing at 25 inches high and weighing 22 kilograms, the Medici urn is designed without handles, showcasing a sleek and timeless profile. The durable grey finish complements any décor style, making this urn a versatile addition to gardens, patios, and interior spaces.
