About the Item

This finely cast silver-plated bronze piece depicts a majestic stag standing on a rocky base, gazing at two large, intertwined palm trees, topped with a crystal tray. It is marked on the side with the silversmith's stamp from Elkington & Co, featuring 'E & Co' crowned within a shield, the letter "T" for the year 1858, and a Gothic "C" hallmark for Great Britain. The piece also includes an engraving of an elephant within a tower, possibly a family crest. Elkington & Co. is a renowned English company founded in Birmingham in 1815, specializing in the production of silver and silver-plated items. Known for the quality of its products, the company earned numerous awards at major international exhibitions and held royal warrants, supplying pieces for the luxury dining sections of the Titanic. The history of Elkington & Co. reflects the artisanal excellence of the Victorian era. Their innovations in electroplating not only revolutionized silverware production but also made these luxurious items accessible to a wider audience. This centerpiece, a perfect example of Elkington's craftsmanship, showcases the elegance and complexity of the period's creations. As a unique piece, this centerpiece will add a touch of history and refinement to any collection or interior decoration. Its silver-plated finish, sophisticated design, and intricate details make it a true work of art, emblematic of 19th-century British luxury.
