All auctions / Furniture, Design & Mirrors / Jardinière - Neo-Gothic - Gilt brass - Lions
It is a planter that fully embodies that Neo-Gothic reinterpretation in golden metal, where brass becomes an almost architectural material, worked with an ornate richness that recalls the friezes, corbels, and symbolic creatures of medieval cathedrals. Its oval shape, supported by lion’s paws, conveys a nearly heraldic strength: those tense claws and the feline body serve as support and, at the same time, as an aesthetic statement of power and solemnity. On the sides, the lions with rings function as true guardians of the object. They are not mere ornaments: their presence reinforces the protective and symbolic character that Neo-Gothic recovered from medieval imagination. The heads, modeled with volume and a firm gesture, contribute drama and a sculptural touch that balances the softness of the main body. The golden brass, with its warm shine and natural patina, adds depth and an antique air without the need for artifices. The relief decoration—leaves, volutes, and vegetal motifs that curl with elegance—creates a play of light and shadows that brings the surface to life, as if the piece breathed under the light. Overall, it is a planter that combines medieval fantasy, metallurgical craftsmanship, and decorative presence, a piece that not only serves as a container, but as a protagonist object in any interior. Certified shipping and good packaging.
