Jardinière - Neo-Gothic - Gilt brass - Lions

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 a wealth of ornament that recalls the friezes, corbels, and symbolic creatures of medieval cathedrals. Its oval shape, supported by lion feet, 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 authentic guardians of the object. They are not mere adornments: their presence reinforces the protective and symbolic character that Neo-Gothic recovered from the medieval imagination. The heads, modeled with volume and a firm gesture, add 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 ancient air without need of artifice. The relief decoration — leaves, volutes, vegetal motifs that coil with elegance — creates a play of light and shadow that gives life to the surface, as if the piece breathed under the light. Together, it is a planter that combines medieval fantasy, metallurgical craftsmanship, and decorative presence, a piece that not only serves as a container but as the protagonist object in any interior. Certified shipping and good packaging.
