19th Century Brass & Bronze Jardiniere

19th Century Brass & Bronze Jardiniere was designed with an interesting bowl shape supported by tripod legs above which appear cast bronze lions' heads.  The shape is relatively shallow compared to its diameter, making it ideal as a centerpiece, or for displaying vine-style greenery.  Such jardinieres have been prized by homeowners desiring to enhance their interiors with natural beauty for centuries, and have evolved over the eons in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and in materials.  The combination of brass with bronze is particularly suited for longevity and elegance.
