    Gilded bronze jardinière is designed as a round openwork basket supported by a baluster-shaped column surrounded by four С‑shaped "feet". The column bottom part is decorated with acanthus leaves and fluting at the upper part. The С‑shaped feet are in the form of stems with fruits and scrolls at the ends, topped by swan heads and finished below with palmettes. The composition stands on a four-lobed plinth decorated with four half-figures of winged lions and the antique-style foliage ornament.
