Wrought Iron Planter with Scrollwork Stand, 20th Century
-
Description
This 20th-century wrought iron planter features a rectangular basket supported by a scrollwork base. The upper section is formed with repeating arched and spiral motifs, creating an open lattice that provides ventilation and visibility for potted plants. The lower edge is finished with a looped wire apron that reinforces the structure while maintaining the decorative rhythm. The stand is built with curved iron supports that meet at a central ring, distributing weight evenly before tapering out to scroll-form feet. The painted surface shows consistent wear associated with outdoor use but remains intact and structurally sound.
Its proportions make it suitable for indoor or covered outdoor placement, functioning as a plant holder, decorative accent, or seasonal display. The hand-shaped ironwork reflects traditional fabrication methods rather than mass production, giving the piece a clear artisan quality. The lightness of the frame, combined with its stability, allows flexible positioning without visual heaviness.
This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions! -
