Antique Silverplate over Copper Lion Head Jardinière Bowl on Pedestal (8.5” x 7”)
Late 19th to Early 20th Century Decorative Centerpiece
A Statement Piece with Old World Elegance
This striking antique jardinière bowl features a beautifully scalloped rim and dramatic lion head ring handles, a timeless motif associated with classical European design.
Crafted in the late 19th to early 20th century, the bowl was formed from copper and finished in silverplate, a luxurious yet practical technique used for high-quality decorative wares of the period. Over time, the silver surface has developed a rich, moody patina, allowing hints of the warm copper beneath to softly glow through, creating depth, texture, and undeniable antique character.
Originally intended as a centerpiece or planter, pieces like this would have graced grand dining tables and parlors, filled with seasonal flowers, greenery, or fruit.
