Stunning Antique Brass Gothic Revival Former Church Baptismal Font Planter Stand

About the Item

Large, one of a kind Gothic plant or small tree stand. This handcrafted, historical, architectural and highly decorative work of religious art is another one of our once-in-a-lifetime-finds. If you are looking for unique antiques to grace your living space then this large and unique eyecatcher could be yours to own and enjoy soon. We have owned two antique fonts before, but we have never seen an all handcrafted, brass Gothic specimen of this quality and beauty. If you look at, or rather study, the shape and the execution then you will notice that the workmanship is simply incredible. The depth in the relief and the perfect symmetry of this embossed and hand hammered antique is something that was rare even in the earliest years of the 1900s. In this day and age, you would not be able to find a craftsman capable of creating such a piece. It is for all these reasons and ofcourse because of the many children that must have been baptised in this ecclesiastical relic that this is both the perfect Gothic decoration and talking piece. With its initial purpose in mind, how could your plants of flowers not flourish in this sacred work of art. Our fair price for this one of a kind and impressive antique even includes perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum height x diameter: 33.5 x 24.6 inches. Smallest diameter x lowest height of the inside: 16.1 x 11.8 inches. Diameter of the wrought iron base: 14.1 inches. Weight: 32.5 kilogram or 72 pounds. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
