Exceptional Neoclassical bronze planter, early 19th century

Descriptio Bronze with a brown patina tinged with green. Measures 89 x 56 cm. Circular basin with an open profile, supported by three curved legs joined by a triangular spacer. The basin features a wide molded rim decorated with gadroons and a band of interlacing patterns inspired by Greek motifs. The support is ornamented with stylized ram’s heads in relief, a motif directly derived from the ancient Greco-Roman repertoire and widely reinterpreted by Neoclassical taste. The elegant combination of architectural lines, classical ornamentation, and structural balance recalls the decorative styles influenced by the Directoire and Empire periods, revisited during the 19th century. The dark patina with greenish undertones accentuates the depth of the relief and enhances the inherent quality of the bronze. 89 x 56 cm. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipment: no import duties apply within the EU. Export permit from the country of origin may be required.
