Description from the seller
Antique French Faience & Gilt Bronze Jardinière by Lunéville (Keller & Guérin), c. 1900
Description:
An exquisite turn-of-the-century French antique ceramic jardinière (planter) mounted in an ornate, heavy gilt bronze (or champlevé style alloy) footed frame. The oval-shaped faience body features a beautiful ivory-cream glaze, elegantly decorated with hand-touched poly-chrome morning glory (*liseron*) blossoms and delicate foliage in soft shades of purple and sage green.
The ceramic insert is beautifully embraced by a decorative openwork gallery rim, leading to twin scrolled handles, and rests elegantly on four elaborate rococo-style foliate feet. The underside displays authentic incised potter’s letters and numbers ("D", "5", "P"), characteristic of the renowned Lunéville manufacture during the Keller & Guérin era.
Condition Report:
Excellent antique condition. This piece has been exceptionally well preserved. No chips, cracks, or restorations to the ceramic body. The original glaze shows a beautiful, genuine age-related crazing (*craquelure*) that enhances its antique character. The bronze mount retains a gorgeous authentic patina with according to age wear signs.
