Flower Stand (Jardinière) (c. 1800): Art, History and Details

Flower Stand (Jardinière) (c. 1800) is in the Cleveland Museum of Art collection. The museum's creator attribution is Pierre Philippe Thomire (French, 1751–1843).

The work and its context

The museum's open-access catalogue describes the work:

Thomire was the most productive and famous bronze caster in Paris around 1800. The border of this flower stand was cast from the same molds used for a centerpiece signed by Thomire; therefore, the stand can safely be presumed to have been produced by Thomire as well.
