Retaining walls, balustrades and steps of south terraces, with urns

The retaining walls, balustrades, and steps of the south terraces at Waddesdon Manor are notable features from the late 19th century, complemented by a set of six early to mid-18th century urns. The retaining walls for the upper terrace are constructed of ashlar stone with moulded coping, while those for the fountain terrace are partly made of brick. Above these walls, the stone balustrades are adorned with moulded square balusters, panelled piers, and 19th-century marble urns designed for flowers.

There are twelve stone steps at the center between the terraces, featuring an arrangement of six 18th-century carved marble urns that are attributed to the Baurscheits' workshop in Antwerp. These urns display mythological relief scenes, scroll handles with mask-heads, carved covers topped with ball finials, and are set on stone baluster pedestals. On the southeast side of the fountain terrace, there are paired flights of steps leading down to a small patio, while the southwest side also features paired flights of steps arranged in an oval pattern, leading down to the garden.
