Planter In Cedar Bramble Veneer And Blackened Wood, Napoleon III Period - Nineteenth

Planter with an animated shape, opening on the top by a lid with rounded lines, in Cedar Bramble Veneer. It is mounted on a porcelain plate with a pink dominance, embellished in the center with a profile of an Antique soldier, and on its perimeter with a colored frieze. Two cut-out bronze handles allow you to remove this tray and discover a bare compartment, 12 cm deep, bordered by an openwork gallery. You can install a plant, a rose bush, or other more unexpected objects, such as jewelry or fruit, if you choose to divert this Planter from its initial function. Its belt with four curved sides is decorated on the front and back with a scene of Putti leaning against a Coat of Arms, surrounded by a beaded frieze. The set rests on four generously arched blackened wooden legs. They are embellished in the upper part with Bronzes representing birds with outstretched wings on foliaged falls. Ornaments of the same precious alloy adorn the hollow of these four feet ending in Sabots. Note the presence of fine chains suspended between the Bronzes, bringing lightness to this Decorative piece of furniture already full of finesse. These four uprights are connected by a crotch shelf in the center of which sits a high Bronze Vase. The sides of this tray are concave and its edges adorned with a chiseled brass band. ******** Period: 19th Perfect condition after restoration. Varnished finish on a hard bottom.
