ABOUT PRODUCTID 16741
This miniature French jardinière, dating from around 1900, is a showcase of refined decorative art from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. With compact proportions (5 × 11 × 5 cm), it rests on a finely wrought brass frame – plated and gilded on the inside – embracing a sharply cut, transparent crystal insert. The surface is adorned with intricate reliefs: a central medallion with a bow, floral patterns, and elegant diamond motifs at the base, all referencing the late 19th-century Belle Époque and early Art Nouveau traditions. The cool, silvery brass bears a delicate patina and gentle sheen, accentuating the hand-crafted quality and delicately carved short feet that lend balance and lightness. The crystal insert stands out for its clarity and crisp faceting, creating a vibrant contrast with the ornate metalwork. The piece is preserved in excellent condition, free from damage or restoration, with only subtle traces of age-related patina that confirm its authenticity. The jardinière’s silhouette speaks of the French fin-de-siècle, an era when luxury and artistic vision rivaled each other in the field of decorative objects. Its flowing lines, detailed reliefs, and luminous crystal echoes the spirit of the Belle Époque – a time when ornament served as both gesture and statement, and each piece aspired to elevate the salon’s character. The gentle patina radiates a sense of tranquility, as if this small jardinière quietly remembers light-filled afternoons and refined gatherings along the Seine. In a contemporary setting, this piece might be featured atop a marble console, classic chest of drawers, or displayed among other artisanal curios on a sideboard. It could be paired with a hand-cut decanter, a turn-of-the-century porcelain figurine, or a small Art Nouveau jewelry box to enhance the interplay of materials and eras. Appealing
