AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large Ornate Silver Bowl with Openwork Birds and Floral Decoration – 29 cm – 480 g
Spain assay mark, late 19th century, 900/000, and same date marker's mark.
An impressive and highly decorative silver bowl, distinguished by its exceptionally elaborate openwork design featuring raised birds amongst flowers, leaves and scrolling foliage.
The wide border is particularly striking, with an intricate lace-like composition of intertwined branches and floral motifs populated by numerous finely modelled birds. The birds are executed in relief, giving the decoration remarkable depth and creating a beautiful three-dimensional effect.
The richly worked openwork surrounds a plain polished central bowl, providing an elegant contrast and allowing the elaborate craftsmanship of the border to take centre stage.
There are some small dark spots/marks visible in the central section, consistent with age and previous use. These are shown in the photographs and, in our opinion, do not detract from the overall decorative impact or beauty of the piece.
Material: Silver
Object: Decorative bowl / centrepiece
Decoration: Openwork floral and foliate design with raised birds
Diameter: 29 cm
Weight: 480 g
Condition: Good overall condition with age-related wear, patina and some small marks/spots to the central area. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
