English silversmith, maker’s mark ‘DF’ - Vase - .925 silver - Fine repoussé work

Refined pair of English sterling silver decorative vases, hallmarked, produced between the late 19th and early 20th century, in the heart of the late Victorian / early Edwardian period. The vases feature richly repoussé and hand-chased work with elegant floral motifs, volutes, and Rococo Revival decorations, typical of the high-end ornamental production of the era. The slender forms, the undulating rim, and the high quality of execution give the pair an extremely scenographic and decorative presence. Both objects bear English sterling silver marks, including the maker's mark “DF” and British assay hallmarks. The pair is particularly interesting both for construction quality and condition, very rare to find so intact: no dents or significant deformation, decorative details still sharp and excellent overall symmetry. Total weight: about 360 grams. Objects ideal for collectors of antique English silver, interiors with an international taste, Wunderkammer or classical and eclectic settings. Excellent condition for age, with normal and very slight signs of wear compatible with over a hundred years of history.
