Your bronze urns probably date from the late 19th century. Unfortunately, you should never have used a commercial cleaner on your antique bronzes. They were made with an original patina that you have destroyed. Of course, you can still use the urns as planters, and they will continue to have sentimental value. Current prices are recorded from antique shows, flea markets, sales and auctions throughout the United States.
Prices vary in different locations because of local economic conditions.
