Description

19th-century French bronze and red enamel figural putti motif jardinière/planter
France, circa 1880s

A stunning 19th-century French bronze and red enamel figural jardinière/planter, originating from France and dating back to the 1880s. This rectangular masterwork stands at an impressive 10 inches high, measured to the top of the bronze-pierced arched medallions, or 8 inches high to the top of the jardinière or planter itself. Its dimensions span 15 inches in width and 7.5 inches in depth, showcasing the fine workmanship of the 19th century.

The jardinière exhibits exquisite techniques such as fine casting and chased foliate work, evident in the detailed medallions adorning all sides. The lower medallions reveal a striking red enameled metal liner, adding a touch of opulence to the piece. The original removable red enameled metal liner, measuring 12.5 inches wide, 5.5 inches high, and 5.5 inches deep, further enhances both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Resting upon four standing draped puttos, each with back-stretched arms holding the French bronze jardinière or planter, this piece is not only a testament to the artistic talent of the era. Ready to place
