Barovier & Toso Centrepiece Epergne and Candlesticks Opal Crystal with Gold Leaf
By Barovier&Toso
Located in Great Barrington, MA
This is an exceptional and rare centerpiece made by Barovier and Toso,
circa 1930s-1940s. What sets this apart is the versatility and adjustability of the arrangement, allowing for many configurations and shapes. Starting with the hand blown oval shaped centre bowl, the opal glass is filled with gold leaf inclusions making it sparkle without being glitzy. The four gold leaf infused arms sit at the base, which is affixed with a threaded finial. The arms can be spread out either at right angles or maintain an oval shape. One can either use all four arms as candlesticks while placing the bobeches atop the candle cups or placing the four bowls which fit into the candle cups. And one can also use two of each, for a versatile arrangement. Please see all the images to view the myriad possibilities. This clean design works well with many decorative styles and the flexibility is inspiring.
Bobeches measure 4.25" D x 1.25" H
