Victorian Silver Centrepiece with Classical Figures by George Angell, 1878
About the Item
A remarkable example of high-Victorian silver, this antique sterling silver centrepiece was crafted in 1878 by renowned London silversmith George Angell. Richly detailed and sculptural, it features finely cast seated female figures symbolising classical virtues, flanked by rams’ head handles and elaborate foliate ornamentation. The raised base is adorned with ornate relief work and supported by bold scroll feet, creating a commanding and elegant silhouette.
For collectors, this piece represents the pinnacle of 19th-century British silver craftsmanship—hallmarked in London and executed with extraordinary precision and artistry. For interior designers, it offers dramatic visual impact: a show stopping centrepiece perfect for a grand dining table, formal entryway, or curated mantel display.
Blending neoclassical elegance with Victorian opulence, this centrepiece is more than a decorative object—it’s a timeless statement of taste and refinement. Whether styled in a traditional setting or used as a striking contrast in a modern interior, it brings historical depth and sculptural sophistication to any space.
The centrepiece measures 13.25"(33.5cm) tall, by 13.75"(35cm) wide, by 12.25"(31cm) deep, and weighs an impressive 138.25 troy ounces.
