About the Item

Italian silver compote late 19th century, with mark of G. Accarisi of Firenze/Florence. The compote is in the form of a shallow bowl held aloft by a model of Mercury based on the sculpture of Mercury by Giambologna. It is raised on a domed circular foot with chased floral motifs alternating between female masks and shells in high relief, the bowls each with period armorial engraving of a stag's head and the monogram "AJS." The compote is 8.25 in. and weighs 14.5 troy oz. Giuseppe Accarisi was a highly regarded jeweler and silversmith working in Florence during the late 19th century. His workshop crafted fine silver objects in the 16th century style.
