About the Item
Antique late 19th Century French silver plate centrepiece. The bowl is exquisitely crafted in the form of a large clam shell, featuring a mermaid perched atop, serving as a handle while holding a conch shell. It rests gracefully on two intricately detailed hippocampi with intertwined tails. Despite the absence of hallmarks, the exceptional craftsmanship suggests it dates to the late 19th century. Substantial and decorative in style, this piece showcases intricate craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
