"The Flower Garden" Planter, France, circa 1750

Charming Louis XV period Rocaille planter in chiseled and gilded bronze, scalloped with asymmetrical decoration of acanthus leaves and scrolls, and an openwork shell in its center. A bouquet in gilded bronze and polychrome porcelain flowers, as well as a small figure in Meissen porcelain, elegantly dressed and holding flowers in his hands, decorate the whole. The planter is lined with a removable interior that can receive a floral composition.
