An elegant Saint-Clément faience flower holder, made in the early 19th century. This rare model, in the form of a Louis XVI commode, rests on four small sculpted feet and is decorated with delicately hand-painted polychrome decoration.
The removable, openwork top allowed for the display of cut flowers in the traditional French style.
The floral cartouches, colored friezes, and architectural silhouette give this piece an authentic charm, typical of Saint-Clément production during the Restoration period.
