$1,975

About

Crafted in France circa 1880, this handsome pair of antique cast stone jardinieres features a classic rectangular form enriched with sculptural grapevine decoration. Each planter is molded with raised clusters of grapes and trailing leaves across the façade, evoking the vineyard traditions of the French countryside and lending the pieces a refined yet rustic garden character. The thick, rounded rims frame deep planting wells, and the surfaces display a beautifully weathered patina developed over time. Natural lichen, moss staining, and tonal variation enhance their authentic antique presence and confirm their intended outdoor use. The softly textured sides and subtly molded base add depth and structure while maintaining a restrained, architectural silhouette. Substantial in weight at 68 pounds each, these antique French planters are well suited for exterior placement on a terrace, flanking an entry, anchoring a garden wall, or defining a courtyard vignette. They may also be used indoors in a conservatory or garden room for a strong European statement. The pair is in excellent antique condition commensurate with age and outdoor exposure, with surface wear and weathering that contribute to their timeworn charm. Dimensions: 20.5”W x 13”D x 12”H Weight: 68 lbs each
