This is a very rare antique wicker lighted fountain. The fountain base is hand made of reed. It is tall and shapely. The base is framed by braiding. Towards the top are four woven fern pockets. THe pockets have removable metal liners. One liner is missing. The top of the fountain has a large open area that would hold a small motor and the tubing.
The fountain retains the original copper liner bowl with water holes and fittings. In the center of the copper bowl is a light fixture and a fancy frosted glass globe. The water flows through the holes which are elevated and the water washes down into the bowl and re-circulates through the tubing.
This rare wicker fountain retains the original hand done leaded glass collar. Beautiful choice pieces of leaded glass were used to create the collar that frames the water.
This would be a fabulous focal point in any room. It would just require a small motor and tubing to have it operating.
This is the only complete fountain we have ever had the opportunity to see or own. It is an extremely rare item to find in antique wicker.
This is a very impressive piece that would surely be a highlight in any room. Circa 1920's. |
