Art Deco Silver Coupe with Black Handles
Item # 2367 SOLD
Measurements
8" T x 10.5" W (including handles)
silver coupe is 8" T 7" W
Art Deco silver coupe with ebonized wooden handles. This piece is stylized and versatile. Use it as a floral vase, a champagne bucket or simply a lovely sculptural form to decorate your home. The faceted silver shape is accented by very grand handles that sheath the sides as well.
There are silver marks that read "Quist" with a star above and "Plata Fasce" in a shield below. The Quist Silver Company was founded in Esslingen, Germany in 1866 and then became the F.W.Quist Metal Works in 1890. The name Plata Fasce means "silver bands" in Italian and you can see that this unusual piece does combine the excellent silver plate technique perfected in Germany with the influence of Italian design from the Art Deco Era.
