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 bowl: "VAL ST LAMBERT BELGIQUE" (as visible in the macro image of the signature).
Materials: Upper plate in mid-crystal (high-quality pressed and cut glass); pedestal in worked cast metal (probably regulus alloy or antimony with a dark patina of the period).
Detailed Description: Elegant centerpiece composed of a circular bowl with a cut and wavy rim. The glass body features radial geometric decorations with facets shaped into fine-pointed stars and relief fluting ("bambous"). It rests on a central cylindrical column fixed to a tripod base in Historicist/Art Nouveau style, richly decorated with volutes, foliage, and smooth oval relief medallions.
It is in very good structural condition, very solid; the crystal is truly very good, with no flaws, chips, etc.—it was highly valued. The metal parts show wear to the silvering, normal for a piece over 100 years old. The support between the silvered metal base and the crystal bowl 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 enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
