Silver-plated metal jardinière with ornate Art Nouveau floral and scroll decoration

This jardinière represents the Art Nouveau movement that flourished from approximately 1890 to 1910, characterized by flowing organic forms, floral motifs, and elaborate ornamentation. Such decorative planters were popular household items in middle and upper-class European homes, used to display plants and flowers in parlors and drawing rooms. These ornamental jardinières appeal to collectors of Art Nouveau decorative arts, antique home décor enthusiasts, and those interested in turn-of-the-century European metalwork. The piece's elaborate rococo-revival styling and craftsmanship make it particularly attractive to collectors who appreciate the romantic aesthetic of the Belle Époque period and those seeking authentic period pieces to enhance Victorian or Edwardian-style interiors.
