About the Item
French Art Deco Silver Plate Centerpiece Bowl by Orbrille, Paris, circa 1930
A striking example of French Art Deco craftsmanship, this modernist centerpiece or serving bowl was designed by the distinguished Parisian silversmith Orbrille and expertly crafted in France circa 1930. The rare and sculptural piece is rendered in silver-plated metal, featuring a generously scaled, round, stepped bowl that rests atop a refined pedestal base.
The base showcases three carved Macassar ebony wood spheres, arranged in a geometric skyscraper-inspired motif that evokes the architectural elegance of the era. The interplay of lustrous metal and richly grained wood creates a bold yet balanced composition, making this piece both functional and decorative.
Perfect for presenting fruit or serving as a statement accent on a dining or side table, this piece bears the legal French silversmith hallmarks along the edge, affirming its authenticity and provenance.
Dimensions: 13 in diameter (33 cm) by 4.75 in high (12 cm).
Reference:
Parisian silversmith Henri Brille established the renowned atelier Orbrille, which operated from 1875 through the 1940s on rue Debelleyme in Paris. Known for exceptional craftsmanship and elegant design, Brille's work earned prestigious recognition at major French goldsmithing exhibitions, including a Silver Medal in Paris in 1925 and a Gold Medal in 1928.
The name Orbrille is a clever linguistic fusion: "Or" (French for gold and a nod to ORfèvrerie, meaning goldsmithing) combined with Brille's surname, symbolizing the union of material and maker. This legacy of artistry and innovation continues to make Orbrille pieces highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike.
