The vessel is crafted from richly polished mahogany, arranged in an elegant slatted design that surrounds its original brass liner. The liner’s substantial weight and attractive patina make it suitable for housing plants and floral displays or for holding ice and chilled bottles during entertaining. The cooler/planter rests on a three-leg mahogany stand distinguished by crisply carved acanthus motifs at the knees. Each slender, gracefully contoured leg flows into a shaped stretcher system, anchored by a turned circular platform that enhances both stability and visual balance. with its combination of warm timber tones, intricate carving, and aged brass, this multifunctional piece serves beautifully as a decorative accent in traditional, period-inspired, or eclectic interiors.
