A monumental German silver-gilt centerpiece featuring mythological bas-relief, mermaids, musical figures, and elaborate marine and architectural ornamentation.
Sold Out
This extraordinary German silver-gilt centerpiece is a masterwork of ornamental craftsmanship, combining sculptural drama with mythological elegance. The wide bowl is richly embossed with classical scenes, including figures of mermaids and deities, surrounded by scrolling foliage and high-relief repoussé detail.
The stem is supported by a network of sculptural arms featuring figural cherubs, mermaids, and marine-inspired elements. At the base, a dramatic scene unfolds with musician figures, swans, salamanders, and gargoyle feet set against a wave-like, rococo ground. This composition rests on a raised platform rimmed with a pierced gallery and scrolling supports.
Likely intended for ceremonial or exhibition display, this centerpiece reflects the extravagant tastes of 19th-century German silverwork, possibly influenced by Renaissance and Baroque revival styles.
