Description from the seller
Important Rocaille-style Jardinère / Centerpiece (flower stand) from the 19th century (c. 1870–1890) – Napoleonic III period.
External structure in bronze/brass decorated in relief; inner removable bowl (core) original in zinc.
Jardinère of oval shape with lobed rims, richly decorated with Rocaille-inspired motifs. The body is profusely worked in relief with scrolls, cartouches, shells, and stylized foliage. It features a cut and pierced upper gallery. The sides are equipped with imposing winged handles with vegetal scrolls fused together. It rests on four curved feet integrated into the base decoration. Interior with its protective lining in gray metal, essential for water retention.
Good overall condition, showing natural patina of time and slight wear due to age. Inner lining with normal oxidation marks from use. Shows slight dents and, unfortunately, one of the side wings is missing.
Dimensions refer to the jardinière itself; I did not include the wing/handle.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
