Description from the seller
Piece-de-milieu in engraved glass and .835 silver – ca. 1900
Elegant Dutch pièce-de-milieu, executed in richly decorated glass and equipped with solid silver mounts of .835 content, stamped with the Dutch sword mark.
The table piece consists of a wide round dish on a raised silver foot, with a tall trumpet-shaped glass vase at the center. Both the dish and the vase are extensively etched with stylized floral and geometric ornaments. Of particular beauty is the combination of graceful leaf-and tendril motifs with classical bands, including a clearly recognizable meander or Greek key edge. The lower part of the vase is additionally provided with a fine geometric lattice decoration.
The clear transparency of the glass forms a beautiful contrast with the glossy silver mounts. The broad stepped silver foot gives the whole a stately presentation, while the silver connectors unite the various glass components into one architecturally constructed centerpiece.
Such pièces-de-milieu were placed as representative showpieces at the center of a table or buffet, often filled with flowers, fruit, or other decorative arrangements. Due to the size, refined etched decoration, and the use of solid Dutch silver, this is a particularly decorative example of luxury dining culture around the turn of the century.
