Antique Brass Repousse Jardiniere

A substantial and richly worked antique brass jardiniere in the Rococo Revival taste — oval form raised on four scroll feet, the body densely worked in repousse with cartouches, scrolling foliage, beaded borders, and radiating sunburst panels. The undulating rim rises and falls in an energetic wave profile. The handles are cast as coiled serpents or dragons — sinuous, scaled, and highly detailed — terminating in foliate grip points. Original liner insert retained.The weight and quality of the casting, combined with the density of the ornamental program, point to late 19th century Continental manufacture — French or Dutch workmanship in the tradition of the great Rococo Revival brasswork that furnished bourgeois interiors across Europe in the final decades of the century.An excellent centerpiece vessel — equally suited to cut flowers, greenery, or display as a decorative object on a console, sideboard, or library table.Category: Decorative Objects / Metalwork / Planters & JardinieresStyle: Rococo Revival, Victorian, Continental EuropeanMaterials: Brass, repousse, cast handles
