-
Description
This exceptional pair of 19th-century Italian garden braziers is a rare marriage of form, function, and ornament. Constructed from richly embossed copper and adorned with delicate gilding, each brazier features a wide, fluted body punctuated by elegant stylized handles and raised on stately brass feet.
Originally intended to hold glowing embers for outdoor warmth or ceremonial use, they now offer versatile decorative appeal, perfect as jardinieres, fire bowls, or dramatic sculptural planters. The gilded finish, softly worn with age, adds a luxurious glint that contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the hammered copper.
Their presence evokes the charm of classical gardens, Mediterranean courtyards, or antique-filled conservatories. Whether placed indoors or outdoors, they command attention and invite storytelling. These are not only decorative pieces but also evocative artifacts of Italian craftsmanship and outdoor living traditions from a bygone era. -
