About the Item
Pair of Late 18th Century French Cast Iron Planters with Gilt Acanthus Decoration
France, late 18th century
This elegant pair of French cast iron planters dates to the late 18th century and reflects the neoclassical taste of the period. Each planter is formed with a classical trumpet-shaped profile, featuring a finely modeled band of acanthus leaves in high relief around the lower body, highlighted with original gilding. The rims are encircled by a gadrooned gilt border, while the bases are enriched with additional foliate ornamentation, creating a balanced and architectural silhouette.
Finished in a soft, pale painted surface that contrasts beautifully with the warm gilded elements, these planters exemplify the refined decorative metalwork produced in France during the late Louis XVI period. Cast iron planters of this quality were typically intended for use in orangeries, winter gardens, or formal interiors, serving both functional and ornamental roles.
The surfaces show expected wear, oxidation, and minor losses consistent with age and use, contributing to their authentic patina and historical character. Equally suited for indoor display or covered exterior use, this handsome pair offers a timeless classical accent for both traditional and contemporary settings.
