Antique Painted French Cast Iron Jardiniere, Early 20th Century

About the Item

Standing on four small volute feet, this painted cast iron jardiniere has a shapely presence highlighted by the undulating opening comprised of volutes and rosettes. From France in the early 1900s, the jardiniere is adorned with a tree trunk medallion inset within an oval. The cartouche is flanked by floral swags, curled leaves, and a scalloped leaf that hangs down below the base of the main body. Both short sides are adorned with a protruding scalloped shell above volute leaves, continuing the themes inspired by nature. The jardiniere has a white finish, but some losses to the paint have allowed brown and orange patina to accent the silver-colored metal. The long sides have production stamps on the interior (“No 12”), indicating that it was a certain model developed in the early 20th century. A unique cast iron jardiniere that can be used inside or outdoors.

  • 19th Century French Barbotine Jardiniere with Gros Relief Flowers
    Located in Dallas, TX
    The 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...
