19th C. French Empire Tole Pedestal Jardiniere Cachepot Urn With Floral Paint

About the Item

This pair of exquisite tôle peinte planters exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship of 19th-century decorative arts. Each planter is crafted from hand-painted metal, featuring a rich teal-blue ground with delicately rendered floral medallions at the center of their broad, shallow bowls. The oval floral medallions showcase finely detailed roses, daisies, and other blossoms in vivid hues of pink, red, yellow, and green, framed by gilded accents. These vibrant designs are complemented by hand-applied golden flourishes radiating outward from the medallions, further accentuating their classical form. The planters rest on a sturdy pedestal base, giving them a sense of balance and presence. Flanking each side are decorative ring handles, a functional and aesthetic feature that adds to their neoclassical charm. The overall patina and areas of wear are consistent with age and use, highlighting their authenticity and history. Tôle peinte, or painted sheet metal, was a popular decorative technique during the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in France and Italy. These planters were likely intended for use as indoor or covered garden accessories, serving as elegant vessels for floral arrangements or as stand-alone decorative pieces. Dimensions: Approximately 5.625" h x 11.25" w x 4.125" d. These planters are an exceptional representation of the enduring appeal of tôleware, blending artistry and utility. Their vibrant floral motifs and classical design make them a testament to the sophistication of 19th-century European decorative arts. Today, they stand as timeless examples of hand-painted metalwork, suitable for both museum collections and private interiors.
