DRAPERY LEAD PLANTER

At first glance our Drapery Round Lead Planter might appear very simple; a valance of draped fabric held in place with two buttons. However, the historic significance of draped cloth is rich and emotionally charged. Terms such as ‘cloak of office’ and ‘mantle of leadership’ have existed for as long as people have been wrapping themselves in cloth. Draped cloth on a headstone reminds us of the veil that separates the living and the dead, a ‘memento mori’ and white cloth draped on a cross at Easter symbolizes the resurrection. Artist have always used drapery to display their bravura and skill and our real lead planter follows that tradition.
