19th C. French Ormolu Caged White Porcelain Jardinere

A white porcelain liner sits within an elongated gilt cage, where slender vertical bars rise into a row of little arches. Rope-twist bands and draped garlands soften the openwork, and ornamental feet lift the piece just above the table. Its low profile lends itself to a line of moss, bulbs, or greenery along the center of a table.
