Antique French Gilt Bronze Jardinière / 19th Century Art Nouveau Planter / French Centerpiece Bowl / Antique Bronze Rocco Cachepot

This is for an Antique Solid Gilt Bronze French Jardiniere. This piece is circa 1850 (19th Century). This was produced by hand and us decorated with handles that are Art Nouveau / Victorian styled cherubs, leaves and scrolls through out the entire piece. There is a liner made from tin and is not removable. This piece is very unique in that it is not a replica but also is large and very heavy.

The planter measures: 6.5 inches tall x 15.5 inches long x 9 inches wide. The liner on the inside measures: 3 inches tall x 11 inches wide x 6 inches deep. This piece is in wonderful condition and will make for a stunning centerpiece on a dining table to side table perhaps holding fresh flowers, decorative objects to an artificial arrangement. The piece is polished.

This wonderful piece of French history is marked on the base with the following:

De La Rue (meaning: "Of the Street")

98 R. Vieille Du Temple (The address - street name and number of the original crafter was located - This is now a Clothing Store - Le Mont St Michel)

BD 627 (Would think that this is either the pattern number and perhaps a date.)

The address above is a tourist destination now for very high end clothing stores, to bakeries to art shops and museums all within the historic buildings.


**All items are vintage and if more then normal age appropriate use / condition issues - then it will shown in the listing / pictures. Please ask questions prior to purchase if there are concerns.

Majority of my items for sale are pre-loved treasures that were most likely purchased at a local Estate Sale or a local resale shop in Arizona. I may or may not know details but do spend time researching information to provide details the best I can and to pass along fair prices.


*I do Not except returns or exchanges unless I erroneously forgot to declare a Major flaw. Remember most items will show wear. Assume items are preloved and or vintage and such can have its own idiosyncrasies due to age alone and normal wear and tear. Remember vintage items have been used and will have small issues like surface scratches and age appropriate wear. I will show any major issues in my pictures as they are part of the description.

*If an item is damaged in shipping you agree to hold onto the item, box and packing materials until the claim is processed and I will need you to take any necessary pictures to file with the carrier.

* I take great care in packaging items correctly and shipping on time.

* I STRONGLY believe in reusing and repurposing of mailing materials, thus your item maybe packed in a previously used box and/or wrapped with previously used materials. Thank you for looking!!
