French Dirctoire Period Jardiniere TRI748

An exquisite French Directoire Period Jardiniere from the South of France. Beautifully crafted from polychromed wood with its original zinc liner. The decorative panels are created with the VERNIS MARTIN technique. Vernis Martin is a process where bronze or gold powder is added to the varnish and was perfected by the Martin family. Highly desirable, it was developed to imitate lacquerware being imported into France during the Louis XV period. A stunning accent piece.
