19th Century Table Planter In Veneered Wood And Gilt Bronze Ornament Stamped Fm

This tabletop planter is a piece of remarkable beauty and elegance, dating from the first half of the 19th century. Made of veneered wood, it is enriched with gilt bronze ornaments that give it a luxurious and refined appearance. The carved details are exceptionally fine, featuring delicate floral friezes that gracefully intertwine around the structure. The lion heads, symbols of strength and majesty, add a touch of power and nobility to the whole. The figures of semi-nude women, gracefully reclining, bring an artistic and sensual dimension, evoking the classical themes of mythology and ancient art. The bronze bears a monogram stamp "FM", which could indicate the workshop or craftsman who created this piece. This signature adds a touch of authenticity and historical value to the planter. The planter is decorated all around, meaning that every angle offers a view that is just as captivating and detailed as the others. The elegantly deployed handles are not only functional but also aesthetic, complementing the overall design of the piece. With dimensions of 43 cm in length, 25 cm in depth and 22 cm in height, this planter is of an imposing size, perfect to serve as a centerpiece on a table or furniture. Its design and high-quality materials make it a valuable collector's item, ideal for lovers of antiques and decorative art. This table planter is not only a utilitarian object but also a work of art in its own right. It embodies the craftsmanship and artistic taste of its time, making it an invaluable addition to any antique collection or elegant and sophisticated interior.
