An Aesthetic Movement Gilt Table Centre Piece or Tazza, Highly Decorative.

19th century
Description

This fine table centre piece or tazza dates to the 1880s and is made from brass or bronze. The dish top is decorated with a very detailed central panel showing a medieval king, other figures and a dog in a dramatic scene within a flared and stepped surround, decorated with cherubs and dragons amongst a foliate deep relief boarder.

The highly decorative upper section is raised onto a plain stem supported by a flared and moulded foot.

This heavy and well made piece is signed by the sculptor at the bottom of the medieval scene and also has a gilt brass label on the underside attributing it as a piece from the Art Union of London.

The tazza is in very good condition with no dents or damage and retains a pleasing original gilt finish showing some age-related wear and patination.

Height 12 cm x width 28 cm x depth 28 cm

After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

The Aesthetic Movement, prominent in the late Victorian era, emphasised visual harmony and craftsmanship over utilitarian design. Metalwork from this period frequently drew inspiration from Renaissance relief patterns, classical mythology, and intricate natural foliage.

Clean gilt metal gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from intricate relief areas. Avoid abrasive metal polishes, chemical solvents, or water, which can strip or damage the delicate gilded layer.

An antique gilt tazza functions effectively as a standalone focal point on a sideboard, coffee table, or entrance console. It can be displayed empty to highlight its relief detail or used as a receptacle for dried botanicals and small decorative objects.

Authentic period pieces exhibit crisp, detailed relief casting with subtle surface wear or darkening in high-relief crevices. Look for period construction methods such as threaded screw fitments under the pedestal base and standard manufacturer marks or registration stamps.

Victorian tazzas were commonly cast from bronze, brass, or spelter metal, which were subsequently gilded using electroplating or fire-gilding techniques. Pedestal bases were typically secured using threaded iron rods running through the central stem.
