Large Japanese-style garden stool in turquoise glazed ceramic.

Exceptional decorative piece from the late 19th century, this large garden stool in glazed ceramic immediately captivates with its magnificent Japonist decor and vibrant turquoise background. Octagonal in shape, it is adorned in relief with blooming magnolias, birds, and delicate foliage, enhanced with bright colours and gilding. Its aesthetic evokes the grand Japonist creations of the Belle Époque, in the spirit of the works of Longwy, Théodore Deck, or Jules Vieillard. Originally used as a garden stool, plant stand, or veranda element, it now perfectly fits into a refined interior, a greenhouse, a winter garden, or an eclectic decor blending the old and the contemporary. Its turquoise background wonderfully captures light, making it a true accent decorative piece. The object shows several old restorations with metal staples, testifying to its history and the attachment that its successive owners have had for it over time. Dimensions: • Height: 47 cm. • Width: 28 cm. • Depth: 28 cm. Condition: Overall, it is in beautiful decorative condition. There are signs of old restorations and visible staples. Signs of use are consistent with its age. A rare and charming piece, ideal for hosting a plant, showcasing a collectible item, or simply adding a touch of colour and character to an interior. #japonist #longwy #gardenstool #antiqueceramics #veranda #wintergarden #plantstand #belleepoque #eclecticdecor.
