Description
This ornate sterling silver footed centerpiece bowl features a beautifully chased and engraved body with scrolling floral and foliate motifs. The elegant form is complemented by two delicate ring handles, one on each side. The bowl is topped with a reticulated (pierced) lid, also adorned with scrollwork, and finished with a finial that appears to be bone or ivory. The craftsmanship suggests a 19th-century European origin, possibly Victorian or Rococo Revival style, and it would have served as a decorative and functional piece for serving or display. The material is sterling silver, showcasing the intricate detailing popular during the period. The interior of the bowl shows some wear and tarnishing consistent with age and use.
