Art Deco Classical Silver Centerpiece

An Art Deco Classical Silver Centerpiece with ornate grape and floral motif and original cut glass liner. During the early 20th Century no table, buffet or mantle was considered complete without a beautiful silver centerpiece to be filled with fruit or flowers. The metalwork was detailed and embellished and the glass bowls in unusual shapes , etched and removable.

This lovely piece has intricate repousee relief work with lush fruit and vine images and pierced Greek key borders and twisted classic columns. The maker’s mark is W&G, most likely British in origin circa 1920.
