19th Century French Brass Repousse Cachepot with Coats of Arms and Lions
About the Item
Designed to be displayed on a table or mantel, this brass cachepot with coat of arms and lions is from France. Hand-hammered in the 1800s, the cachepot was worked from the reverse side in a process known as repousse that results in low relief design.
Beneath the rolled rim that surrounds the opening is a pair of lion mascarons with circular loop handles. In between the lions are two distinct cartouches: a vase overflowing with fruit and on the opposite side, a heraldic display. A pair of oval shields rest beneath the cuirass and helmet of a set of armor in front of a curled leaf margent. The escutechoen on the left has a fluted background beneath a chevron and three florets, while the other is charged with three bends over a fleur de lys on a fluted background. A thick ring of gadrooning encircles the base of the cachepot, which is embellished with a band of roundels.
The 19th century French cachepot is gold with a lustrous patina, making it a beautiful decorative accessory. Its original use was as an indoor planter, but it could also be used as a wine cooler in a bar area or as a utensil holder in the kitchen.

- 19th Century Hand Painted Faience Jardiniere on Pedestal from Boulogne, FranceLocated in Dallas, TXThis fantastic faience jardiniere and pedestal were hand-painted in Boulogne, France (formally “Boulogne-sur-Mer”) in the late 1800’s. The vibrant set features heraldic displays set among foliate and floral illustrations. Both the pedestal and the jardiniere have white backgrounds festooned with green leaves and blue, yellow, orange, and purple flowers. The opening of the jardiniere has asymmetrical edges dotted by small piercings, with flowering vines painted along the inner rim. Exquisite handles, comprised of curled leaves and C-scrolls, are affixed to the sides of the lobed body. Numerous painted motifs grace the area between the handles, including drapery, scrolls, and floral baskets hanging from an arabesque border. Equally impressive décor can be seen on the tetrapartite stand with a molded top. Each layer of the molding has a different color scheme, ranging from yellow with volute embellishments to solid green. The neck of the stand has been adorned with floral displays above multi-colored scrolls, shells, and scalloped leaves. In the center of each scalloped leaf is a distinct heraldic shield: on one side is a French style shield representing the city of Boulogne, with a swan that symbolizes perfection. On the opposite side is coat of arms topped by a closed crown, emblazoned with a five-fold cross over three roundels, which is the coat of arms for Godfrey of Bouillon, the first ruler of Jerusalem, who was born in Boulogne. Beneath the coat of arms are a pair of scrolled feet adorned with scalloped leaves and scrolls. There are two more feet to the sides that have pierced elements with floral vines beneath.
