DIMENSIONS: Overall height: 12inches Bottom vessel dimensions: Length: 21 inches Depth: 18.5 inches Height: 7.5 inches Top vessel dimensions: Length: 12 inches Depth: 9.5 inches Height: 9.7 inches This magnificent formal centerpiece was created around 1940 in Milan, Italy by S.A. Calderoni, a famous Italian firm of fine jewelers and silversmiths that was established in 1898 and achieved its greatest fame during Italian Art Nouveau and Novecento periods. The company also manufactured items by special private orders and commissions, and was a supplier to the court of the last Italian King, Victor Emmanuel III. The outstanding artistic design in the style of Novecento and its generous proportions combined with a remarkable handmade rendering make this magnificent centerpiece not simply a functional object but a true masterpiece of applied arts. This luxurious hand-hammered silver centerpiece consists of two parts: - The smaller footed bowl is raised on oval wood platform? resting on seated cast silver male figures. - The larger bowl is raised on flattened bun feet. - Both, the larger and smaller bowls have scrolled handles, lobed bodies and banded rim that ends in scrolls at the fluted seams.
