ABOUT PRODUCTID 11386
Produced in the United Kingdom during the 1960s, this jardiniere exemplifies the craftsmanship of its era, combining silvered brass with deeply saturated cobalt glass. The low, elongated silhouette emphasizes horizontality, while symmetrical plant-inspired engravings, a central oval cartouche, and vertical cut-outs create a dialogue between metal and glass. The large, rounded handles with perforations subtly reference Art Nouveau, despite the mid-20th-century origin. The material reveals a natural patina: the brass surface transitions from silvery highlights to brownish undertones, with a matte finish and visible wear along the edges. The cobalt glass insert is integral, visible through the cut-outs and at the rim. Construction details—including visible rivets and sturdy joins at the handles—attest to handcraftsmanship. Condition is very good, with authentic signs of age and minor abrasions; there are no major damages, and the glass insert is original.This piece seems to evoke the discreet elegance of 1960s Britain—rooted in tradition yet willing to reference earlier styles. One can imagine garden greenery outside the window, evening light refracted through cobalt glass, and organic motifs unfolding across a silvery surface: the jardiniere recalls the subtle drama of London drawing rooms and the quiet pleasure of detail that rewards a closer look. Every patinated line and trace of use carries echoes of gatherings and domestic rituals, leaving space for new stories to be written.The jardiniere would serve as a striking centerpiece on a sideboard, credenza, or library shelf. It can be paired with warm-toned woods—such as mahogany or walnut—and other period accents, like metal-framed mirrors or milky glass lamps. Its geometric yet organic character fits well in mid-century modern interiors, while eclectic, collector’s
