Introducing a captivating vintage Bronze Greco-Roman Style Allegory of the Summer Planter, a mid-20th-century masterpiece with a rich dark patina and embellished with intricate lion heads. Crafted using the traditional lost-wax technique (à la cire Perdue), this bronze circular piece, a standout in our planters and garden seats collection, showcases meticulous details including petite beads and larger spheres adorning the lid, interrupted only by two commanding lion heads on opposite sides.

Seated back to back, they cradle an abundant harvest of wheat. The Greco-Roman subject and the distinguished dark patina make this bronze Allegory of the Summer planter an exceptional addition to any garden.
This piece not only serves as a planter but also as a cultural statement, merging classical aesthetics with functional art.
