This elegant pair of planters is crafted from gilt and patinated bronze in the Empire style. Each planter features a stepped patinated bronze base encompassed by a moulded gilt bronze frieze. The body of each planter is rectangular in form, its corners finished with gilt bronze pilasters and its sides mounted with Egyptian-inspired Empire style motifs. The planters are modelled as litters supported by Egyptian figurative litter bearers, each bearer wrought from patinated bronze and finished with gilt bronze accents.
