About the Item

An impressive and richly ornamented French Napoleon III brass jardinière or champagne cooler dating to the late 19th century. Executed in embossed and repoussé brass, the piece features an elegant oval form raised on elaborate scrolling feet with finely pierced Rococo-inspired supports. The body is lavishly decorated with classical female mascarons framed by stylized foliage, shell motifs, and scale-like ornamentation characteristic of the eclectic decorative arts of the Napoleon III period. The openwork handles terminate in scrolling foliate forms, adding sculptural movement and refinement to the composition. Originally intended as either a luxurious planter (jardinière) or table cooler, the piece retains strong decorative presence and reflects the highly ornamental taste associated with French Second Empire interiors. The interior liner remains present. Dimensions: Height: 19 cm (7.4 in) Width: 20.5 cm (7.8 in) Length: 39 cm (15.3 in) Condition: Good antique condition with visible age-related wear, surface scratches, and minor dents consistent with period use. Traces of older restoration and solder repairs are visible to the underside and lower structural elements, particularly around the base joins. Structurally stable and highly decorative. (The photographs form an integral part of the description.)
