    not sure what this 11lb brass item is, there are no holes in either the insert or the bottom so I am kind of questioning if it is a planter. I guess that Robert Ansteth was a designer? I looked thru tons of pics hoping to see this, but didn't have any luck. 9" tall 11" wide. Thanks for looking!!

    I did find a bit, but just wondering what this piece might have been used for. Thanks Debora.

    Nice, @wildrose !

    Reminding me of the golden fashion rule, which makes just as much sense for my home: less is best :)

    This inspires, though I can never comply!
