Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1890s:
Forged iron stands with hand-hammered textures: blacksmith work before mass production.
Hand-chased fluting around the copper shoulders: individual tooling marks rather than machine stamping.
Green verdigris in the recesses: natural oxidisation from decades of moist pot plants.
Gentle rubbing through the iron blacking: wear where the copper pots sit.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This pair of late nineteenth-century Arts and Crafts jardinières consists of two copper pots and wrought iron tripod stands in copper and black colours. The copper pots have flared, fluted rims, repoussé reeding around the upper section, and a few minor dents from age. They sit inside dark wrought iron frames formed by twisted scrollwork legs with curved feet, adorned with side scroll motifs, leaf details, and central floral rosettes. One holder lacks a single leaf from its side decoration. Measuring 26.5 cm high, 30.5 cm wide, and 30.5 cm deep, these plant holders function practically as decorative containers for indoor foliage. They suit placement on a sideboard top within a sunlit conservatory or a living room setting, bringing organic metalwork textures to interior surfaces.

FAQs

Arts and Crafts metalwork emphasizes handcraftsmanship, visible structural details like rivets, and organic forms, rejecting mass industrial production in favour of traditional artisan techniques.

Late Victorian and turn-of-the-century plant holders frequently combined sheet metals like copper or brass with hand-forged wrought iron frames to withstand moisture and weight.

Authentic period pieces show subtle variations from hand-hammering, hand-formed repousse or fluting details, rolled rims, and natural oxidisation or verdigris in crevices.

Position planters on timber sideboards, wide window sills, or mantelpieces, pairing warm metallic tones with trailing houseplants like pothos or ferns to contrast structured metalwork with natural greenery.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes to preserve original surface patina, and use interior waterproof liners to protect metal from direct water contact.
