empire revival mahogany and ormolu mounted jardiniere

Circa 1900, large Empire Revival mahogany and ormolu mounted circular jardiniere. With a brass lining, that was recently made to its exact specifications. The main body has 4 panels, with 2 large well cast lifting handles with acanthus leaves to the side and a carved cast flower head to the back plate, with a central drop section. This is held in the fielded panel with fine ormolu beading in a stylish pattern, and continues across the piece. The 2 panels without lifting handles have a large motif of flowers, and flowering fruit. Between each of the panels there is a cast upright in the form of a vase with swags and tails falling from the top down. The jardiniere stands on 4 legs, each of them in the form of a winged lion on a podium with a cast head, wings and mahogany body. It is shaped and curved and standing on a stylish animalistic foot. There is an inventory number on one of the facings ‘X954’. The jardiniere liner is removable and is water tight so can be used for flowers or as a wine cooler.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
