About this item
Victorian lead planter which is a quintessential example of a 19th Century English garden ornament. The piece features a beautifully detailed, continuous bas-relief frieze of Putti (cherubs) in various playful poses.
The planter is further distinguished by an original perched lead bird fixed to the rolled rim—a charming detail typical of the Victorian period's fascination with bringing nature closer to the home.
There are some holes to the bottom of the planter, some of which look to be purposeful and make it perfect for use as a planter. These could be repaired to reinstate the piece as a bird bath. Whether used as a low-profile trough for planting or as a traditional bird bath, this piece offers a heavy, durable, and timeless focal point for any courtyard or garden border.
Height 12cm x Diameter 41cm. Height including bird 18cm.
Date of manufacture : 19th century
