1880s Silver Plated & Crystal Centerpiece
About the Item
This elegant centerpiece is a striking example of refined neoclassical style from the late 19th century, combining silver-plated metalwork with the timeless clarity of crystal. Designed with architectural inspiration, the piece is supported by a circular base and five fluted columns, reminiscent of ancient Greco-Roman temples. The base and upper ring are richly adorned with delicate engravings, including interlacing patterns and beaded borders that add a luxurious touch to the ensemble.
At the top rests a detachable crystal bowl with a star-cut base and a finely beveled rim, adding sparkle and sophistication. The bowl is thick, sturdy, and perfectly transparent, revealing the gleaming silver-plated support beneath it. This makes the centerpiece both decorative and functional — ideal for presenting fruit, flowers, or festive arrangements during elegant dinners or receptions.
Dating from the late 19th century, this piece embodies the craftsmanship and stylistic elegance of the Belle Époque era. The symmetry and proportions of the design lend it a sense of balance and grandeur, while the polished silver reflects light beautifully. Signs of age, such as light patina and minor wear on the silver, only enhance its authenticity and charm. It would be an exquisite addition to a formal dining room, a display cabinet, or a curated antique collection — a true testament to the sophistication of 19th-century decorative arts.
