About the Item

French Classical Revival Limestone Planter Signed Perriard, Signed and dated, Finely Carved French Limestone Jardiniere, Roman or Greek Mythological Style Head Limestone Planter A striking French Classical Revival planter or jardinière sculpted in the form of a mythological female head. Beautifully cast in reconstituted limestone with flowing hair adorned with vine leaves, this sculptural vessel evokes ancient Roman and Greek deities—particularly figures such as Daphne or Medusa, symbolizing transformation and nature. The piece bears a richly aged natural mineral patina from outdoor exposure, enhancing its authenticity and texture. Its craftsmanship reflects the French sculptural tradition of the late 20th century, when artists revived neoclassical forms for elegant garden and architectural décor. Perfect as a statement garden urn, decorative indoor planter, or sculptural accent, it combines fine-art presence with functional charm. This signed French Classical Revival garden urn, mythological head planter, Medusa head urn, reconstituted stone jardiniere, French neoclassical bust planter, vintage limestone pot, Greek goddess planter, Daphne head sculpture, mid-century French garden décor, is truly French garden art. Expertly hand-carved from natural limestone or composite stone, the piece displays a richly weathered patina with traces of mineral deposits, moss and age, giving it timeless character. The sculptural detailing—from the serene facial expression to the cascading locks—demonstrates exceptional artistry and depth. Perfect as a garden urn, indoor accent planter, or decorative bust, it brings an Old World, mythological charm to any setting—whether displayed empty as a work of art or filled with cascading greenery.
