This pair of George V sterling silver vases dates from the Art Deco period, specifically bearing hallmarks for Birmingham 1931 by Barker Bros Silver Ltd. Each vase presents a polished, reflective silver finish with smooth, light-catching facets across its tapering form. Notable details include an octagonal profile, a horizontal raised band beneath the rim, an arched repeating crenellated motif along the top edge, and an outswept stepped pedestal base. They measure 15 cm high, 5 cm wide, and 5 cm deep. These pieces find a natural home on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or dining table where their clean geometric lines and metallic sheen complement modern or traditional interiors. They stand stably on flat surfaces without weighting, serving well for single stems or displayed simply as decorative objects. The construction is solid throughout, maintaining a bright surface without dents or damage.

FAQs

Art Deco silver from the 1930s emphasizes geometric forms, faceted profiles, and clean structural lines, moving away from ornate Victorian decoration toward modern architectural shapes.

Pieces were typically crafted from solid sterling silver stamped with official hallmarks, featuring hand-worked or machine-pressed geometric panels, flared rims, and frequently weighted bases for stability.

Authentic pieces feature the anchor symbol for the Birmingham assay office, the lion passant for sterling silver quality, and the specific date letter corresponding to 1931 alongside a makers mark.

Positioning a symmetrical pair on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard top, or dining table centrepiece provides balanced reflective accents that complement both minimalist and classic decor.

Gently clean with a specialized silver polishing cloth or silver foam to remove oxidisation, avoiding harsh chemical dips or abrasive pads that can wear down delicate hallmarking and surfaces.
