Wolfers Freres Neoclassical Large Silver Centrepiece 'tray & flowerbasket'
About the Item
Made of solid silver, both silver pieces are fully marked, 800 silver with the maker's mark. This substantial and beautifully-crafted neoclassical centrepiece
was made in the 1920s and will look perfect on a hall/lobby table or in the dining room.
The large silver tray is mounted on a wooden base and secured with brackets. The outside rail has a tube border with scallop shells. The polished surface of the silver tray is in very fine condition for its age and gives a good mirror to the light. The design motif is continued on the silver collar which slips over a copper liner. The copper liner-basket is cut to an exact outline and fit so that a floral arrangement can be executed elsewhere and then dropped into position.
For convenience, this item comes with a cut crystal vase saint Louis of suitable height and shape which sits inside the copper lining. The crystal vase may be 'associated', it cannot be verified that it was originally supplied with the rest of the set, but it is of the right period and style.
The Brussels firm of Wolfers Freres -Silversmiths, was in the hands of Philippe Wolfers from 1892 until 1929. With his cousin Albert, they became well- known for their neoclassical, Art Nouveau and Art Deco pieces, sold internationally through a network of exclusive retailers.
Both silver pieces are fully marked, 800 silver with the maker's mark.
