An authentic piece of Art Deco European metalwork, this brass planter was crafted circa 1920 in Tiel, Netherlands, by the renowned foundry Daalderop (Koninklijke Metaalwarenfabriek Daalderop). The base features their crisp, official stamped shield mark reading "Made in Holland – Tiel – Daalderop".
Founded in 1880, Daalderop became celebrated throughout the early 20th century for its high-quality Art Nouveau and Art Deco household wares. This piece exemplifies the refined Dutch Art Deco aesthetic of the 1920s, featuring a bold bulbous silhouette, a wide flared rim, and a striking repoussé band of geometric oval cartouches and scrolling details running around its belly.
Measuring 16 cm in height, 12 cm in base diameter, and 18.5 cm in rim diameter, with a total weight of 460 g, it offers a substantial presence for display.
Condition: Good antique condition throughout. The exterior exhibits a rich, warm golden brass patina with gentle surface wear, subtle scuffs, and light darkening consistent with genuine age. The interior displays authentic verdigris oxidation and historical patina from past use as a cachepot, while the overall vessel remains solid and structurally sound.
This piece would suit an Art Deco interior, Dutch country house display, or vintage plant setup. Its warm brass tone and detailed geometric relief make it an elegant vessel for holding potted houseplants, trailing ivy, or indoor greenery.
