AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent French-style 'Cachepot' planter or centerpiece, made in the mid-20th century (1940s or 1950s).
Made from a combination of cast bronze and polished brass, its style is Neoclassical inspired by Regency or Imperial. It is a design that seeks to balance functionality with excessive ornamentation, typical of European high-decoration objects from the mid-20th century.
The central body features a perimeter cutout with a pattern of intertwined acanthus or oak leaves, creating a very attractive play of light and shadow.
The most prominent feature is the lion heads on the sides, each of which includes a functional ring that was originally used to easily carry the object. The lion is a classic symbol of power and elegance.
Resting on four claw-shaped lion legs, a classic design element in furniture and jewelry that elevates the piece.
It presents a beautiful natural patina that has darkened the crevices of the metal, adding depth and authenticity, highlighting the reliefs of the design.
Dimensions: 27 cm long, 17 cm wide, and 13 cm high.
It is a collectible, elegant, and exclusive piece that adds shine and sophistication to any environment.
They are shipped with care and secure packaging.
