Wolfers – Louis XVI style jardinière in silver gilt, decorated with goat heads and garlands Important oval Louis XVI style jardinière in solid silver gilt 833/1000, made by the prestigious Wolfers Frères house in Brussels.

The whole is supported by four fluted feet and punctuated by a twisted upper frieze. The interior glasswork, finely cut in a radiant star, is perfectly fitted; an old restoration has been carried out there, discreet and without impact on use.
