A surtout de table is a decorative centerpiece that is placed on a dining table, typically during formal occasions or special events. It was designed to adorn the center of a dining table and enhance the visual appeal of the table setting during grand dinners and banquets. Surtouts de table were particularly popular during the 18th and 19th centuries among European aristocracy and upper-class circles. They were used to showcase the host’s wealth, taste, and social status. Place a vase of flowers on these mirrored bronzes, or use them to frame another decorative center piece.

Pair of Scalloped Sterling Silver Platters with Repousse Fruit Motifs

Located in Dallas, TX

First produced in 1907 by the American silversmith company, Reed & Barton, this pair of sterling silver platters has repousse fruit motifs. Repousse is a metalwork technique where the verso (back) side is hammered to produce low relief images that can be seen when viewing the front. Curled leaves and C-scrolls seamlessly alternate along the outside of the platter to form scalloped edges. Beneath the crenelle are segmented sections (eight in total) that are adorned with alternating images of a cluster of fruit followed by a tall pinnate leaf. Our pair of scalloped sterling silver platters can be displayed on stands...

Pair of French Louis XVI Style Silvered Bronze Chenets, circa 1900

Located in Dallas, TX

This pair of brightly silvered bronze chenets are from France (circa 1900), in the style of Louis XVI, as noted by the presence of laurel leaf festoons and pots au feu finials. They were used in well-appointed homes, not only to decorate the front of the fireplace, but to prevent burning logs from rolling onto priceless rugs, should they break free of the fire. Often seen in natural wrought iron, or gilded in gold (in finer homes), it is unusual to see them in silvered bronze. Each finial has two pots au feu of different sizes and orientation adorned with a laurel swag. The larger fire pot...

18th Century Repousse Decorated Copper Chaudron from France

Located in Dallas, TX

A beautiful example of a period Louis XVI chaudron, or cauldron, the copper has been decorated with a metalworking technique known as repousse, where low relief motifs are hammered from the reverse side. Many motifs from Louis XVI were inspired by ancient civilizations (Egypt, Rome, Greece, etc.), such as the mascarons and cartouches seen on the sides of this chaudron. There are two distinct mythological scenes on opposite sides, set in between a pair of twisted loop handles emanating from the mouth of a heavily bearded mascaron with a tied bow in his hair. One image depicts Pegasus rearing up as a man with a sword...
