The oval brass body is richly ornamented with a continuous frieze of neoclassical motifs, including scrolling acanthus foliage, stylized palmettes, and oval cartouches, all formed through traditional repoussé techniques from sheet brass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vessel is fitted with gracefully arched openwork side handles terminating in scrolling volutes, and rests on three small bracket feet, giving the piece both visual balance and structural stability. The brass surface displays a warm, naturally aged patina with areas of soft wear, lending depth and character consistent with its age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe interior glass liner is hand-formed and custom-fitted to the brass mount. Interior views reveal the reverse impressions of the repoussé decoration, confirming traditional hand-worked construction rather than cast metal. No maker’s marks are present, which is typical of high-quality French decorative brass objects produced by Parisian workshops during this period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally intended as a centerpiece or jardinière for floral arrangements, this piece now serves beautifully as a decorative centerpiece, cachepot, or table object in both classical and layered interiors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEra\u003cbr\u003eLate 19th Century\u003cbr\u003eBelle Époque \/ Neoclassical Revival\u003cbr\u003eCirca 1880–1900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHistory\u003cbr\u003eDuring the Belle Époque, French decorative arts embraced revived classical forms alongside refined metalworking techniques. Repousséd brass objects were widely produced for domestic interiors, offering richly ornamented designs at a more accessible level than cast ormolu while still requiring skilled hand labor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJardinières such as this were fashionable centerpieces in salons and dining rooms, reflecting the era’s emphasis on ornament, symmetry, and natural motifs. The survival of the original fitted glass liner is a notable feature, as liners were frequently lost or replaced over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProvenance\u003cbr\u003eFrance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterials\u003cbr\u003eRepousséd brass\u003cbr\u003eHand-formed clear glass liner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003e(To be provided)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisclaimers\u003cbr\u003eAge-appropriate surface wear and patina to the brass, including spotting and areas of softened finish\u003cbr\u003eGlass liner shows surface scratches and a small edge chip, visible in close-up images; does not affect stability or use\u003cbr\u003eNo maker’s marks observed\u003cbr\u003eStructurally sound and stable \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"For the Louvre of Antiques LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48410506461439,"sku":null,"price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/8780\/4927\/files\/3ad0584d-7843-4f5d-b3a0-dff133c47023.png?v=1776609223","url":"https:\/\/forthelouvreofantiques.com\/es\/products\/antique-french-repousse-brass-jardiniere-with-original-glass-liner-1","provider":"For the Louvre of Antiques LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
