Pair of Louis XV-Style Fruitwood Jardinieres, early 20th century, each with an annulated circular rim above a floral ribbon-carved frieze, joined to a caned lower shelf by cabriole supports terminating in scrolled toes, h. 40", dia. 13-1/2".

In overall good condition. Both exhibit a number of mars, abrasions, surface losses and shrinkage consistent with age and use. Both have been re-glued, and now appear to be tight and solid. Both exhibit gaps at the juncture of the legs and the basin, with a number of losses to the applied carving at that point, and the chips/loss of a couple of the small carved brackets at the joint. One additional bracket is a newer replacement of lower quality. There are no inserts for the basin. The bottoms of both have been replaced with modern plywood bottoms.
