Centrepiece - Silver plated brass - Mythological Griffins

This Regency-style centerpiece in silvered brass presents an exuberant and theatrical composition, typical of the fin-de-siècle style. The cup, with a wavy edge and organic profile, rises above an ornamented base where two mythological griffin figures stand out: hybrid creatures with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle, a symbol of vigilance and power.

The taps are modeled with great dynamism, their wings spread and firm claws, as if guarding the receptacle. Silvered brass accentuates the contrasts between polished surfaces and chiselled areas, creating a play of light that enhances the volumes. The handles, sinuous and vegetal, integrate into the ensemble with fluid elegance, evoking stems and tendrils.

This kind of piece not only serves a decorative function, but embodies the taste for the fantastical and the symbolic that characterized Art Nouveau, especially in table objects and high-end domestic ornaments.
