About the Item

An impressive and substantial French gilt-metal and glass serving bowl, designed in an elegant Louis XVI Revival style and dating to the 20th century. The large circular glass bowl is framed by an ornate gilt-metal mount, with a finely embossed repeating border and particularly attractive scallop-form handles to either side. Classical detailing and restrained gilding give the piece the appearance of traditional French luxury tableware. At approximately 11 inches across including the handles and weighing an impressive 3.4 kg, this is a substantial decorative and functional piece. Its generous proportions make it particularly suitable as a fruit bowl, salad bowl, trifle dish or dining-table centrepiece. The combination of clear glass and warm gilt metal allows it to work equally well in traditional, Hollywood Regency or eclectic interiors. The piece is unmarked. While its styling has similarities to luxury French tableware associated with makers such as Baccarat, without a signature or documented provenance it should not be catalogued definitively as Baccarat.
