Three semi-circular tiers rise one above the other, each decorated with elaborate scrollwork and floral motifs in high relief, including finely detailed vines and leaves. Scrolling side brackets support the tiers and connect to a decorative crest at the top, while the lower tier rests on elegantly curved feet that give the piece balance and grace. The layered silhouette draws the eye upward and creates a living wall of greenery when fully planted. The galvanized steel interiors are practical for planting, allowing the planter to be filled with trailing ivy, ferns, herbs or seasonal flowers. Standing nearly 88 inches tall, it makes a dramatic statement on a terrace, patio, porch, garden wall or poolside, and works equally well indoors in a conservatory, sunroom, loggia or grand entry hall. It can also be styled with potted plants, books or collected objects as a striking display etagere, bringing architectural height and old-world garden romance to any setting.

The planter measures 44 inches wide, 21.25 inches deep and 87.75 inches high. It is in very good vintage condition. The iron and galvanized steel show a consistent patina with minor surface oxidation typical for its age, which adds to its weathered, timeworn character. The decorative elements are intact with no significant losses or structural issues, and the piece is stable and ready for display or use. A true showpiece for gardens, estates and collectors of antique-style ironwork. See less
