Second Empire Gardenere In The Shape Of A Bird Basket

Art Nouveau Gilt Brass Planter –
Late 19th/Early 20th Century. This very elegant gilt brass planter, in a basket shape, is typical of Art Nouveau production from the late 19th and very early 20th centuries. It features a rich, finely chiseled naturalistic decoration, enlivened with scrolls, foliage, and birds, highlighted by an openwork handle adorned with branches and acorns, lending the piece a movement and lightness characteristic of the Art Nouveau aesthetic. The body of the planter is decorated with engraved motifs in sinuous lines, while the undulating upper rim accentuates the elegance and refinement of the piece. The gilding, now patinated by time, offers a beautiful warmth and authentic charm. A high-quality decorative object, this planter is ideal as a centerpiece, on a console table, or on a shelf, and integrates perfectly into a classic or Art Nouveau interior. Period: late 19th – early 20th century Style: Art Nouveau Material: gilded brass Condition: used condition, with wear and patina consistent with age
