Fruit bowl - 1950s Italian Regency 43cm - Silverplated

Vintage Italian Regency Silver-Plated Double Swan Fruit Bowl In Excellent Condition – No Reserve Imagine entering an elegant 1950s Italian villa where sculptural décor pieces were chosen not for function alone, but to create drama, luxury, and conversation. This impressive silver-plated double-swan fruit bowl embodies exactly that mood: graceful, symmetrical, and unmistakably high-end quality. Two beautifully modelled swans form the handles, their elongated necks curving like living calligraphy around the bowl. The hammered interior, scalloped exterior, and raised pedestal base give it a striking presence on a dining table, console, or sideboard. A true centerpiece for an interior that celebrates glamour, refinement, and sculptural design. Weight: 1.75 kg Dimensions: 28 × 43 × 24 cm (h × w × d) Material: Silver-plated cast metal Origin: Italy Period: Mid-century Italian Regency, circa 1950s–1960s Condition: In excellent vintage condition with a beautifully preserved silver plate. Light signs of age and use consistent with its decades of history. Please refer to the photos for a precise impression. Historical context: Italian Regency revival pieces of the mid-20th century often drew inspiration from neoclassical luxury and palatial ornamentation. Swan motifs, associated with purity, grace, and aristocratic taste since antiquity, became especially popular in Italian decorative arts from the 1940s through the 1960s. This bowl reflects that era’s fascination with sculptural animal forms combined with high-gloss metallic finishes. Provenance: Part of a private collection. Found at an Italian antique store a few years ago. A decorative statement object that brings instant elegance to any room.
