Art Nouveau planter in metal and copper, France ca. 1905

A beautifully crafted French Art Nouveau planter dating to around 1905, combining wrought metalwork with a richly patinated copper bowl. The piece showcases the organic elegance characteristic of the movement: flowing lines, delicate scrolls, and botanical motifs that appear to grow naturally from the structure. The hammered copper vessel sits within an ornate metal frame, creating a striking interplay of textures; warm, glowing copper against the darker, sculptural ironwork. Its proportions make it ideal as a decorative accent in an entryway, conservatory, or living space, whether used as a planter or as an artistic standalone object. A refined example of early 20th‑century French craftsmanship, offering both functional utility and the expressive beauty of the Art Nouveau period. Diameter dish: 22 cm.
