This beautiful brass jardinière from the 19th century is a stunning example of decorative art from the Victorian era.

The symmetrical design, the rich patina, and the detailed craftsmanship suggest it was made in a high-quality atelier, possibly in regions such as Berlin, Vienna, or Nuremberg, known for their refined brass work.
