Description
Antique WMF Neoclassical-style jardiniere centerpiece retaining its original fitted crystal glass liner. Petite in scale, it is well suited to smaller spaces and offers refined decorative impact for a console, dining table, or sideboard.
The pierced mount has a navette shape, stands on four feet and features ring side handles suspended from finely modeled lion-head masks. The original, removable, crystal liner fits precisely within the metal frame.
Expertly cast in solid brass with an antique silver finish, the jardiniere displays a pierced gallery of classical columns, swagged garlands, lion-mask handles with rings, and ornate lion's-paw feet. The balanced architectural design reflects the refined classicism favored during the Edwardian period and lends the piece timeless decorative appeal. Suitable for greenery, floral arrangements, scented potpourri or display as a standalone object.
The underside is clearly marked WMF with the six-petal rosette mark, confirming its early manufacture. Greenery is for illustration purposes only and not included. Shipped fully insured with tracking.
