Charming Late 19th Century French Terracotta Hanging Planter- 11¾" x 8¾"

This elegant antique French hanging jardinière from the late 19th century features a gracefully tapered shape and simple, understated design. Made from terracotta with a deep, weathered black finish, it reveals warm terracotta tones beneath where the patina has naturally worn with age, lending rich visual depth and authenticity. The classic fluted bowl form is crowned with subtle molded floral detailing along the rim and base, showcasing refined yet restrained ornamentation. It hangs gracefully on three long, timeworn iron chains- though not original- that enhance its rustic, authentic character.

Hanging planters like this were prized in French gardens and conservatories for their light, airy presence, adding a delicate vertical element that brought planted greenery closer to view.

This jardinière will look wonderful filled with trailing ivy or sculptural succulents, whether on a sun-dappled patio, covered porch, or in an airy interior corner, bringing an intriguing touch of period drama and decorative flair to your space.
