Centrepiece - Silverplated, Glass

Old Patera with a Figure of a Woman

Elegant, decorative patera supported on a base in the shape of a female figure. An item of high decorative value.

Details and condition:
The item shows visible signs of time and imperfections.
Glass plate: Preserved in good condition, with a classic radiating pattern and a decorative rim. Small cosmetic scratches visible on the glass surface.
Figure and base: Made of metal (factory-silvered, patinated). Visible wear of the coating, patina and darker spots (metal oxidation).
Construction defects/repairs: On the rear column supporting the structure there are traces of an old repair (soldering) and losses in the continuity of the column’s ornamentation (visible in close-up photos).
Base: Visible dents, scratches, and significant wearing of the silvering on the lower edge of the base.
Despite its defects, the patera presents itself quite strikingly. The photos are an integral part of the description and show the actual condition of the item.
