Description from the seller
Important centerpiece in silver finely worked in repousé and chase, characterized by an extraordinary naturalistic decoration composed of fruits, grape clusters, figs, pomegranates, foliage and floral motifs.
The central cup presents a refined petal-shaped form with ornamental vegetal engravings that confer further elegance to the whole.

The work represents an excellent example of decorative silverware in a historicist taste, inspired by European Baroque models.
