Early 20th Century Handcrafted Brass Oval Jardinière with Lion Mask Handles and Paw Feet – Elegant Antique Planter

This early 20th-century brass jardinière is a beautifully handcrafted statement piece that radiates classical sophistication and timeless appeal. Expertly formed in an oval shape, it rests gracefully on four paw feet, each sculpted with fine detail to give the piece an aura of stability and strength. The sides feature majestic lion mask handles, each clutching a decorative brass ring, symbolizing nobility, protection, and courage—hallmarks of refined English and French design traditions of the period.

The brass body displays a subtle hand-hammered texture with soft undulations, a testament to traditional metalworking craftsmanship. Its rich golden tone has developed a warm, natural patina, revealing traces of age and use that lend authentic antique charm. The piece’s characterful wear tells a story of its past life—perhaps once gracing the hearth of a stately home or holding floral arrangements in a grand conservatory.

Highly versatile, this jardinière can serve as an indoor planter, centerpiece, wine cooler, or decorative catch-all bowl. Its reflective surface brings light and warmth to any room, whether displayed on a console table, mantel, or sideboard. A perfect blend of elegance and practicality, it embodies the beauty of early 20th-century craftsmanship—refined, durable, and timeless.
