About the Item
This is an intricate and exquisitely made antique pair of English Victorian parcel gilt silver plated and cut glass centrepieces by the renowned silversmiths Elkington
Co., dated 1883.
Each of these stunning centrepieces has a wonderful central round cut glass dish which is supported by a magnificently chased seated cherub holding a torch decorated with two lovely bacchanalia masks, grapes and leaves against a gilt background. It is highly decorative and at the same time very functional, making it ideal for displaying fruit.
The base is further embellished with superb matching chased vines, grapes and flowers which are set against a fantastic gilt background. It stands on four fabulous chased feet, two of which feature outstanding chased fruits and the other two feature charming gilt oval cartouches.
The underside of each centrepiece bears the makers' mark and the stamp of Elkington and Co. dating them to 1883, and the inventory number 16310.
A lot of intricate detailing has gone into the creation of this beautiful pair, they are extremely well designed and attractive items that can only grow in value.
