19th Century Antique Louis XV Inlaid Jardiniere Stand
It is an ebony and burl walnut marquetry inlaid jardiniere stand, measuring H: 30 1/2, W: 20, D: 13 1/2 in. and with all it's filigree still attached.
What is this old sounding name "Jardiniere Stand", we hear you cry?
Let's go to the Internets, the series of tubes made famous by Senator Ted Stevens, to a place called Wikipedia for this;
Jardinière is a French word, from the feminine form of "gardener".
A flower box, a receptacle (usually a ceramic pot or urn) or more rarely a stand upon which, or into which, plants may be placed. (The French themselves refer to tabletop versions of such receptacles as cachepots.) Jardinières tend to be highly decorative and are sometimes used as garden accent elements for large plants and for raised culinary and herb gardens.Frankly, for a piece this old, it is in remarkably great condition
For someone that decorates strictly with Antiques, or, perhaps has a sheltered oasis of plants and flowers and can use a great accent to it, this is the piece for you.
It already has received great attention and interest since we placed it in our front window, so, hustle up to 13909 Antiques and give this 19th Century Antique Louis XV Inlaid Jardiniere Stand a new home.
