About the Item

Hand-carved in Florence, Italy, in the 1800s, this tall wooden urn has been finished with a white lacquer and golden elements inspired by nature. A golden fruit bouquet arises from the top, above a neck adorned with beading and widely spaced fluting filled with margents. Two scrolled handles in the form of attenuated leaves with roundel detailing on the sides flank a golden floral display on the front of the urn. The vines of the flowers intersect above thick gadroon lobes separated by roundels and beading. An additional layer of gadrooning can be seen at the bottom of the urn, in between two more rings of beading. The edge of the circular base has been finished in gold, as have the three bun feet beneath. Our well-carved wooden urn from Florence would make a great decorative accessory for a center, sofa, or console table.

19th Century Hand Painted Faience Jardiniere on Pedestal from Boulogne, France
Located in Dallas, TX
This fantastic faience jardiniere and pedestal were hand-painted in Boulogne, France (formally “Boulogne-sur-Mer”) in the late 1800’s. The vibrant set features heraldic displays set among foliate and floral illustrations. Both the pedestal and the jardiniere have white backgrounds festooned with green leaves and blue, yellow, orange, and purple flowers. The opening of the jardiniere has asymmetrical edges dotted by small piercings, with flowering vines painted along the inner rim. Exquisite handles, comprised of curled leaves and C-scrolls, are affixed to the sides of the lobed body. Numerous painted motifs grace the area between the handles, including drapery, scrolls, and floral baskets hanging from an arabesque border. Equally impressive décor can be seen on the tetrapartite stand with a molded top. Each layer of the molding has a different color scheme, ranging from yellow with volute embellishments to solid green. The neck of the stand has been adorned with floral displays above multi-colored scrolls, shells, and scalloped leaves. In the center of each scalloped leaf is a distinct heraldic shield: on one side is a French style shield representing the city of Boulogne, with a swan that symbolizes perfection. On the opposite side is coat of arms topped by a closed crown, emblazoned with a five-fold cross over three roundels, which is the coat of arms for Godfrey of Bouillon, the first ruler of Jerusalem, who was born in Boulogne. Beneath the coat of arms are a pair of scrolled feet adorned with scalloped leaves and scrolls. There are two more feet to the sides that have pierced elements with floral vines beneath.
