Centrepiece - Silver plated brass - Mythological Griffins

This Regency-style centerpiece in silver-plated brass presents an exuberant and theatrical composition, typical of fin-de-siècle style. The cup, with a wavy edge and organic profile, rises above an ornate 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 griffins are modeled with great dynamism, their wings spread and claws firm, as if guarding the vessel. The silver-plated brass emphasizes 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 piece with fluid elegance, evoking stems and tendrils.

This type of piece not only fulfills 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.
