Stunning indoor planter, a true masterpiece from the late 19th century in the Napoléon III style. This exquisite piece features a deep red bowl adorned with a floral decor, mounted on bronze feet and encircled by a brass gallery. Its vibrant color and intricate design make it a standout decorative element, perfect for any sophisticated interior.
What makes this indoor planter even more special is its inspiration from the famous Longwy enamels. Founded in 1798, Les Faïenceries et Émaux de Longwy became renowned for their unique and high-quality ceramics. In response to the influx of Asian pottery, the factory began creating new designs in the styles of Chinese, Japanese, Iznik, Persian, and Egyptian art.
By the late 19th century, Longwy enamels had become the specialty of the town, with motifs such as a scattering of white and pink apple blossoms on a cerulean blue background, inspired by Japanese art. The craftsmanship and technique behind Longwy enamels are so exceptional that they are listed as part of France's intangible cultural heritage inventory.
Bring a touch of history and elegance to your home with this remarkable indoor planter, a piece that beautifully combines artistry and functionality.
