About the Item

This 1850s antique English lead planter or cachepot features a quatrefoil form with lion-head reliefs and lion-paw feet that give it strength and presence. The aged surface has a soft gray patina that develops naturally on historic lead pieces. Lead garden planters were favored in England from the seventeenth century onward because they withstand outdoor conditions and acquire a dignified finish over time. Decorative motifs such as lions signaled protection and status, making this planter a classic example of an English garden ornament. Wear consistent with age and use. 11"w x 11"d x 9"h
