This large bon bon dish dates to c1900 in the Art Nouveau style and takes the form of a silver-plated boat shape. The exterior shows a reflective silver colour with a decorative scrolled rim, whiplash curves, and four cast scroll feet supporting the body. Two upturned handles grace the ends, while the interior displays slight surface wear alongside the EPNS mark. Measuring 10.5 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 11.5 cm deep, the piece weighs 332 g. Position this bon bon dish on a sideboard top in a dining room or living space to hold sweets, small trinkets, or potpourri. The French Chateau design vibe integrates well with traditional or transitional tablescapes as a decorative tabletop accessory. Maintenance involves gentle cleaning with a soft cloth suited for silver plate to preserve the polished surface finish.

FAQs

Art Nouveau silverware emerged during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly between 1890 and 1910. The style focused on organic, flowing lines, natural motifs, and stylized asymmetrical forms, moving away from rigid Victorian historical revival styles.

Art Nouveau tableware was frequently produced using sterling silver or silver electroplated on base metals such as Britannia metal or nickel silver. Electroplating allowed complex, flowing decorative designs to be manufactured for broader commercial distribution.

Authentic pieces feature characteristic design hallmarks such as whiplash curves, plant or floral motifs, and sinuous handles integrated directly into the body. Inspection of makers marks or EPNS stamps near the base also helps establish origin and manufacturing period.

A silver-plated bonbon dish functions well as a decorative focal point on a sideboard top, coffee table, or hallway console. It can be displayed empty to showcase its sculptural form or used to hold small items.

Silver-plated items should be cleaned gently using a soft cloth and a specialised silver polish formulated for electroplated metal. Abrasive cleaners and dishwashers must be avoided to prevent stripping the thin silver layer from the base metal.
