AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Important Rocaille-style jardinière / centerpiece (Jardinnière) from the Rocaille period, 19th century (c. 1870–1890) – Napoleonic III period.
Exterior structure in bronze/brass decorated with relief; removable inner basin (soul) original in zinc.
Jardinière of oval shape with lobed contours, richly adorned with Rocaille-inspired motifs. The body is elaborately worked in relief with volutes, cartouches, shell motifs, and stylized foliage. It features an upper gallery with cut-out, openwork design. The sides are equipped with imposing wing-like handles with vegetal scrolls fused into the decoration. It rests on four curved feet integrated into the base decoration. The interior includes its protective liner in gray metal, essential for water retention.
Overall good condition, showing natural patina of age and slight wear due to time. The inner liner has normal oxidation marks from use. It has slight dents and, unfortunately, one of the side wings is missing.
The measurements refer to the jardinière itself; I did not include the wing.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
