A rare and highly decorative antique Islamic brass jardinière, richly adorned with Arabic calligraphy and stylised animal motifs in relief. The wide cylindrical form features detailed repoussé work, likely crafted in the early 20th century or late 19th century, making it a striking collector’s piece with both cultural and artistic value.
The body of the jardinière displays alternating cartouches with flowing script and zoomorphic figures, bordered by repeating foliate patterns. This piece is in good antique condition, with natural surface wear and oxidation to the brass, including minor age-related marks and tarnish. There are no major dents or structural flaws, and it stands well.
Ideal for use as a decorative planter, storage vessel, or as a centrepiece in Middle Eastern–inspired interiors.
