Vintage Lion-Footed Cherub Jardinière

THE OBJECT

An ornate vintage metal jardinière raised upon four distinctive claw feet and richly decorated with scenes of cherubs in relief.

Around its aged surface, the figures appear among musical instruments, books, and a globe, creating an unusually detailed narrative around the vessel. Deep natural patina has settled into the relief over time, emphasizing every figure and decorative detail.

No longer watertight, the jardinière can begin another life as a vessel for dried botanicals, offerings, crystals, shells, or other treasured objects within the home or sacred space.

DETAILS

Vintage metal jardinière with raised cherub relief and four claw feet.

Approx. 5½" tall × 5" wide × 10½" long.

CONDITION

In good as-found vintage condition with heavy natural patina, corrosion, and general age-related wear.

The bottom rim is cracked and no longer sealed; therefore, the jardinière is not watertight and should not be used to hold water.

Please examine the photographs closely, as they form part of the condition description.
