Mass-produced industrial assembly featuring welded metal components, bolt-together sections, and injection-molded decorative elements with a faux-antique finish.

Similar Pieces
Compare to genuine French wrought iron jardinières or Art Nouveau torchieres; the presence of modern hex bolts and resin components distinguishes this as a contemporary replica.
Care & Maintenance
Dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid damp environments which may cause rust on the metal joints. Resin bowls can be cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary.

$75 - $150 (Retail/Resale Market). Value is based on decorative utility rather than antique rarity.
Sustainability Notes
Highly durable and repairable metal construction, though the use of resin (plastic) and powder coating involves petrochemical-based manufacturing processes.
