About the Item

This impressive polished brass jardiniere is a decorative vessel that bridges the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods, circa 1870–1910. Crafted in heavy solid brass, it is both functional and highly ornamental, making it a versatile addition to interior décor. The rounded body rests gracefully on a slightly elevated pedestal base, while the broad rim is enhanced with a finely punched decorative border. The exterior is richly etched with swirling scrolls that flow seamlessly into a stylized fish motif, a design that reveals the strong influence of Japanese decorative art on English metalwork of the period. During the 19th century, Japonisme played an important role in shaping European taste, and objects such as this jardiniere reflect that fascination. The combination of traditional English brass craftsmanship with Japanese-inspired decorative motifs creates a piece that is both exotic and refined. Its generous size makes it ideal for use as a planter, cachepot, or as a standalone decorative bowl. The interior shows natural oxidation from prior use, while the exterior retains a bright, polished finish, offering a striking golden sheen. Collectors of Victorian and Edwardian brass, as well as those with an interest in cross-cultural decorative arts, will appreciate its craftsmanship and timeless charm. This jardiniere is a statement piece equally suited for display or practical use in a conservatory, hallway, or living space.
