This sterling silver centrepiece bowl dates to 1892, the final years of Queen Victoria’s reign. Lavishly decorated in the Rococo Revival style, its body has been created with bold scrollwork, shell motifs, and finely chased foliate detail. Each of the four feet is crowned with an exquisite foliate grotesque mask, a Victorian blend of man, beast and leaf, a symbol of strength and guardianship in Victorian design. Crafted with exceptional skill, the bowl’s deep repoussé work and ornate scalloped rim show the artistry of Britain’s silversmiths at their peak. Its weight, presence, and lustrous patina make it a true statement piece for any fine interior.
