Elegant Neoclassical Gilt Bronze Jardiniere from France, Circa 1850
About the Item
At just over two feet long, this gilt bronze jardiniere was produced in France, circa 1850, at the end of the Neoclassical period. Neoclassical was inspired by art and culture of ancient civilizations, most notably, Greece, Rome, and Egypt.
This lovely gilded bronze jardiniere has a top molding with a repeating zigzag chevron, known as dancette, with a roundel inset in each triangle. Moldings were often incised with geometric embellishments in classical Roman architecture. The sides of the jardiniere are adorned with two more neoclassical motifs: the acanthus leaf and the niche. Here we have a large acanthus leaf enclosed within a roughly ovate niche with an arched top. Two sections of each side are lifted, and they flank a raised large floral cartouche with a foliate margent below. The ends have scrolled handles with lion mascaron décor. Beneath each handle is a raised foliate rinceaux that extends down towards a monopodial paw foot. The lifted sections on the sides terminate underneath in disc feet. An oval brass liner rests inside the planter.
Our long, 19th century gilt bronze Neoclassical jardiniere from France will brighten up any table surface or buffet. It would be gorgeous with flowers, dried flowers, or on its own as a decorative accessory.

- 19th Century French Barbotine Jardiniere with Gros Relief FlowersLocated in Dallas, TXThe skill and knowledge that was needed to make this beautiful 19th century French barbotine jardiniere is significant. Each of the gros relief flowers was painstakingly formed and painted by hand. Barbotine products are a mixture of Kaolin clay and water and in the case of the attached flowers, they are manipulated into paper-thin fineness. Once the flowers were colored, they were affixed to the side of the jardiniere, glazed, and fired. Any miscalculation during the firing process would result in a restart, negating months of hard work. It is difficult to find an intact barbotine with gros relief flowers due to the fragility. The jardiniere has been painted using gradient colors, with black at the top and golden brown at the molded base. In between those hues is a mottled black and brown background that extends up to the curled volute handles. Blue, pink, yellow, and orange gros relief flowers with attached greenery have been applied over the speckled area. Our barbotine jardiniere with gros relief flowers can be used as originally intended, as a small indoor planter...Category
