18th Century, Italian Giltwood & Paint Decorated Planter - Mirrored Back

About the Item

Italy, 18th century. This magnificent 18th-century Italian planter is a captivating example of Rococo Baroque craftsmanship, featuring an elegant French blue painted background that beautifully contrasts with the lavish giltwood motifs. The main body showcases intricately carved and gilded Rococo scrolls, foliage, and floral details, exuding the opulent aesthetic of the era. The mirrored back adds depth and light to the piece, enhancing its visual appeal, while the planter retains its original insert, a rare and desirable feature in pieces of this age. Both decorative and functional, this planter exemplifies the elegance of Italian design. Italian decorative arts in the 18th century were celebrated for their lavish detail and use of rich materials, particularly within the Baroque and Rococo styles. Pieces such as this were often commissioned by European nobility, intended to serve as both functional items and symbols of status and taste. The combination of the French blue painted background with giltwood decoration speaks to the influence of French Rococo style on Italian artisans of the period. Measures: 17.5" w, 9.125" d, 7.75" h.
