Immerse yourself in the elegance of Victorian craftsmanship with this exquisite antique flower vase from 1876, a masterpiece made from the finest 925/- sterling silver. The vase is characterised by its unique trumpet-shaped form, which rests on an artfully designed, round and gradually rising foot. This base not only gives the vase stability, but also a visual appeal that draws the eye upwards, towards the main body of the piece.
The body itself is a prime example of the filigree craftsmanship of the Victorian era. It is decorated with delicate floral patterns at the base, which mark the transition to the actual highlight of the vase: an openwork rim adorned with rocaille decorations. This detailed work lends the vase an aura of luxury and sophistication that is rarely found in modern pieces.
Blurred but recognisably marked by the hand of a master craftsman, the vase bears the mark that probably refers to Robert Mitchell from Birmingham, dated 1876. This mark testifies not only to the authenticity and age of the piece, but also to the expert craftsmanship that went into its making.
The condition of this magnificent vase is outstanding - a testament to the longevity and quality of Victorian silverwork. This piece is not only a remarkable collector's item, but also an asset to any fine interior design that aims to reflect the beauty and charm of times gone by.
