Late 19th century French patinated cast iron footed jardiniere with an oblong form in an aged green painted finish. A beautifully shaped vessel with sculptural, sweeping romantic curves and intricate work of a floral lattice pattern and swirls of acanthus leaf surrounding a central bouquet, raised on outwardly scrolled feet. It displays a naturally aged, warm rusted patina to the original green paint achieved throughout time lending it an organic finish and texture with old-world charm. A wonderfully artistic piece with great versatility for use throughout the home or garden with the warmth and beauty of rustic European elegance.
