AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful Centerpiece / Fruit Bowl "Bambous et Étoiles" – Val Saint Lambert
Production Date / Period: Circa 1913–1915 (Art Nouveau Period / Edwardian Era).
Marking: Piece signed in relief on the bottom of the cup: "VAL ST LAMBERT BELGIQUE" (as visible in the macro signature image).
Materials: Upper plate in fine crystal (pressed and cut glass of high quality); pedestal in worked cast metal (probably regulus alloy or antimony with a dark patina of the period).
Detailed Description: Elegant centerpiece comprising a circular bowl with a scalloped and wavy rim. The glass body features radial geometric facets with stars of fine points and relief ridges ("bambous"). It rests on a central cylindrical column fixed to a tripartite base in historicist/Art Nouveau style, richly decorated with volutes, foliage, and smooth-relief oval medallions.
It is in very good structural condition, very solid; the crystal is truly excellent, with no flaws, chips, etc., it has been very well cared for. The metal part shows wear to the silvering, normal for a piece over 100 years old. The support between the silvered metal base and the crystal cup is in metal of a different color; it seems to me to be original and not a modified piece, everything fits together perfectly.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
