Centrepiece - silver-plated - Presentation portion

Elegant presentation piece in hammered metal, entirely handmade, both inside and out. It stands out for its remarkable zoomorphic handles shaped as dragons or stylized swans, finely chased, which give it an exceptional decorative presence.
Originally silver plated, the natural patina of time now reveals a warm brass-like glow, perfectly uniform across the piece. Depending on the light exposure, the object reveals either a silvery shine or a delicate shade slightly reddish, offering a visual richness particularly alluring.
The object is not stamped.
Very good condition: no damage, handles intact and the structure perfectly stable.
