Description from the seller
Antique French/Belgian Belle Époque Brass Jardinière with Original Zinc Liner – c. 1900–1910
Elegant antique brass jardinière / cachepot in a refined Belle Époque style, dating to the early 20th century. The oval body features richly decorated geometric panels with beaded ornament, impressive Greek key handles, and four elegant cast-brass ornamental feet.
The combination of classical geometry and elaborate detailing gives this piece a strong Belle Époque / Neoclassical character.
A particularly desirable feature is the original removable zinc inner liner, still present and intact. The liner shows authentic age-related oxidation and patina, while the exterior brass has been professionally polished and protected with wax, giving it a beautiful golden finish.
