Pair of Antique French Cast Iron Balcony Planters/Ornaments, circa 1900

About the Item

These fabulous antique French rusted objects are known as “Balconniers”. A balconniere is a special ornamental planter that is attached or hung from balcony. These would have been cast around the turn of the last century and once graced an iron or stone balcony in France. They feature young womens’ faces with many flowers in their hair. The backs are plain with two areas for attaching the planters to a wall, balcony, beam or area of your choice. These are very unusual pieces, and they can be used indoors or out.

Pair of Large French Cast Garden Vases after the Models of Jean-Baptiste Pigalle
By Jean-Baptiste Pigalle
Located in Dallas, TX
After the original 18th century garden vases, entitled Autumn, by Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, this pair of large cast garden vases are in the classic krater form. A sprawling scene with mascarons, rams’ heads, and grapevines are set between egg and dart molding and gadrooned lobes. Made with a mixture of crushed stone and cement (known as reconstituted stone), the tall vases were imbued with a cream coloring agent during the casting process. Each vase is supported by a thick rectangular plinth beneath a tapering neck adorned with geometric motifs and Vitruvian waves filled with flowers. These impressive garden vases will make a wonderful statement, inside or outdoors. Originally part of a set of four vases depicting the seasons of Autumn and Spring, which were designed for the Chateau de Choisy by Ange-Jacques...
