Designs for Planters 19th century

This anonymous 19th century drawing showcases three elaborate designs for planters, each featuring intricate ornamentation. The leftmost planter features a central candelabrum with three putti figures playing musical instruments, emphasizing a decorative and playful aesthetic. The central planter features a circular top with floral motifs, supported by a complex, floral, and scroll-like structure. The rightmost planter features a more classical design, with a vase supported by three cherubs and embellished with more traditional floral ornamentation. These drawings would have been used by a craftsperson or architect to inspire the construction of elaborate planters, providing a glimpse into the ornate and decorative taste of the 19th century.
