Craftsmanship & Detail

The jardinière is beautifully veneered in richly figured burr walnut displaying excellent depth of grain and warm colour throughout.

Condition Report

This jardinière is presented in good antique condition and remains an honest example of a well-preserved late 19th century French piece. The burr walnut veneers are largely sound throughout and retain excellent figure and colour, with minor surface wear and a small number of veneer blemishes entirely commensurate with age and genuine use.

The ormolu mounts remain complete throughout and retain attractive gilding with natural aged patination. The original metal liner displays surface oxidation and wear consistent with genuine historic use as a jardinière, entirely expected and not affecting functionality. The cabriole legs remain firm and stable, while all four original ormolu sabots are present and intact - an important detail often missing on examples of this type. An honest description from a specialist dealer with over 60 years of family experience.

Our house was built in 1820, so I have been slowly acquiring furniture from the same period. The piece is perfect & arrived very quickly too.

We purchased a table from Hawkins Antique and it is absolutely stunning and a mint condition! Delivery was very fast and the delivery team were fantastic and really went the extra mile to get the table into the house - it wasn't simple due to our narrow front door, but the guys managed to get it in, keeping the table safe along the way! Highly recommend - very happy! Made another purchase already!

We had purchased a walnut sideboard from this company. We are delighted with it and with the service. The sideboard - is in a very good condition, clean, as described and advertised. We found dealing with everyone in that company to be straight forward and helpful. I would not hesitate buying from them again! Highly recommended!!!

Bought a William Tillman table and chairs. We are absolutely thrilled with the purchase and the company was very understanding when we were having trouble with moving dates. They were extremely helpful and understanding. Items came well packed and dropped off by two nice chaps who moved everything into the house for us without any hassle at all. Absolutely no trouble in recommending Hawkins Antiques. Would give more than 5*

I visited this place last week and have to say I was amazed, it was like a museum. I definitely recommend anyone to take a visit to Hawkins antiques if you are in the Cardiff or Barry area.
