About the Item

A stunning example of French craftsmanship, this jardiniere features a pierced and chased gilt metal (likely bronze or brass) exterior showcasing the refined aesthetics of the Louis XVI era. The intricate openwork trellis design is punctuated by delicate rosettes, while the central frieze on both sides features a graceful bow and a triumphant arrangement of foliage, flowers, and further rosettes- allowing for versatile 360-degree presentation. The pierced gilt metal frame showcases impeccable work with typical Louis XVI patterns, while the interior houses a pristine white ceramic bowl. Nestled within the ornate metal exterior is a smooth white ceramic bowl, providing a striking contrast and ensuring functionality. Resting on finely chiseled bracket feet, the piece demonstrates exquisite acanthus leaf detailing, a hallmark of the style. This multipurpose object serves beautifully as: A sophisticated jardinière for floral arrangements An elegant fruit bowl or table centerpiece A decorative container for objets d’art A standalone artistic piece In excellent condition, this piece retains its original patina and exhibits only minor signs of age-appropriate wear. This rare and highly sought-after Louis XVI style jardinière would make a stunning addition to any refined interior, from a formal drawing room to a grand entryway. Its timeless elegance and versatility offer endless possibilities for showcasing your discerning taste and appreciation for historical artistry. While primarily intended as a decorative cachepot or jardiniere, its versatility lends itself to various other uses, making it a truly special addition to any discerning collector's inventory. The attention to detail is remarkable. The gilt metalwork exhibits impeccable chasing, capturing the characteristic patterns and motifs of the Louis XVI period. Crafted in the manner of a true objet d'art, this multipurpose vessel transcends its function as a simple planter. Its decorative nature makes it a captivating centerpiece, suitable for gracing a dining table, console, or mantelpiece. Consider using it as an elegant container for ice to chill a bottle of champagne, or simply as a decorative accent to enhance any room's ambiance. Measurements: W.31 cm, H. 12 cm, D. 15 cm
