#1940 Solid Brass Jardiniere Planter with Dolphin Base

This Dutch repousse solid brass jardiniere brings together classical form and whimsical detailing through an elaborate dolphin-form pedestal base and lion’s mask ring handle details. The piece features a generously scaled planter bowl elevated by sculptural dolphins with flowing curves and richly cast details, giving it a distinctly Hollywood Regency feel with subtle neoclassical influence.
 
The warm brass finish has developed a beautifully aged patina over time, adding depth and character throughout the surface. Its substantial presence makes it equally compelling as a planter, cachepot, or standalone decorative object. The dramatic silhouette and maritime-inspired base allow it to work effortlessly in both traditional and eclectic interiors.
 
A rare and highly decorative statement piece with strong vintage glamour and sculptural appeal.
