Beautiful 19th century Victorian cruet set crafted in silver-plated EPNS with an ornate Rococo Revival base.
The set includes eight hand-blown glass bottles with faceted stoppers and silver-plated caps.
The stand features rich Rococo scrolls, shells and foliage, resting on four decorative feet.
A classic and highly decorative European table piece from the second half of the 19th century.
Details:
• Dimensions: Stand height: 26 cm (10.23 in); Stand width: 22 × 22 cm (8.66 × 8.66 in); Bottle heights: 12–15 cm (4.72–5.90 in)
• Condition: Silver-plated stand with patina, wear and areas of corrosion (see photos). Some bottles show small chips on the bases. One bottle bears the EPNS hallmark on the cap. Possible non-original mix: some bottles may have been added later. General wear consistent with age.
(The photographs form an integral part of the description.)
A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
