Seller's Notes:A stunning, Victorian-inspired conservatory piece.
This architectural Wardian case is a high-end reproduction of the 19th-century fern cases used by Victorian botanists to transport exotic plants. Unlike standard all-metal terrariums, this piece features a furniture-grade wooden base with hand-carved fluted detailing, elevating it from a simple planter to a true statement piece.
The case features a pitched "cathedral" glass roof with decorative finials and sits on a sturdy, scrolling metal stand. It is perfect for housing delicate orchids, ferns, or creating a humidity-controlled moss garden. It can also be used as a curiosity cabinet for non-plant displays.
Design: 19th-Century English "Gothic Revival" style.
Materials: Hardwood base with fluted carving, metal frame/stand, and clear glass panels.
Access: The roof lifts or side panels open for easy watering and arrangement (check specific access on your model).
Versatility: The glass case can often be removed from the stand for transport or tabletop use.
Condition:
Excellent structural condition.
Seller Note: Currently contains terrarium substrate (soil/rocks); will be emptied/cleaned prior to pickup.
Design: Inspired by 19th-century English Wardian cases used for transporting exotic plants.
Materials: Typically crafted with a metal frame, glass panels, and wood accents.
Function: Used as a decorative terrarium or display case in sunrooms, conservatories, or living spaces.
Style: Industrial meets botanical — often paired with RH’s conservatory or garden collections.
