Silver Plated & Cut Crystal Centerpiece, Circa 1880
About the Item
This exquisite French centerpiece embodies the opulence and refinement of the late 19th century, crafted in the neoclassical Empire style. The structure features a beautifully detailed silver-plated base with fluted column supports and an intricately adorned frieze of swags and floral garlands in high relief, demonstrating the exceptional craftsmanship typical of the period.
Resting securely in the ornate mount is a removable cut crystal bowl, deeply etched with a classical laurel motif around the rim and an eight-pointed starburst at the base. The clarity and brilliance of the crystal perfectly complement the gleaming silver-plated frame, creating a striking interplay of materials and textures.
This centerpiece is both decorative and functional, ideal for use as a fruit bowl, floral display, or a dramatic table centerpiece. It is in very good antique condition with a beautiful patina to the silver and only minor signs of age-appropriate wear underneath the base.
A rare and luxurious piece that will elevate any interior, from traditional to contemporary, and appeal to collectors of fine European decorative arts.
