Rare William Souter & Sons Copper Jardiniere

An impressive antique British Arts & Crafts / Art Nouveau solid copper jardinière by renowned Birmingham metalworkers William Souter & Sons (circa 1900), bearing their distinctive circular stamped monogram to the underside. The tapered, conical vessel features a rolled rim above a flared upper collar, accented by four hand-planished, sweeping strap legs that loop gracefully from stylized, spade-shaped riveted mounts down to curl under the base. Displaying a rich, authentic aged patina with warm copper tones and natural verdigris oxidation around the rivets and interior, this piece exemplifies the clean, structural elegance of late Victorian and Edwardian British metalwork.
