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.

An epergne is an ornate table centrepiece designed to hold flowers, fruits, or sweetmeats, originating in the eighteenth century and remaining popular through the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Placed in the middle of a dining table, it served as both a practical display vessel and a status symbol during formal meals.

Antique epergnes were frequently constructed using sterling silver, electroplated nickel silver (EPNS), or cast spelter for the supporting framework. The removable inserts were typically made from blown, cut, fluted, or pressed glass in clear, cranberry, or opalescent varieties.

Authentic period pieces exhibit casting seams consistent with early production, natural patina or oxidisation on the spelter, and hand-blown or early moulded glass inserts that match the socket measurements precisely. Spelter is lighter than bronze and exhibits a dull greyish surface where worn.

An antique epergne can be styled as a focal point on a dining table, console, or sideboard, displayed either with simple botanical stems or empty to highlight the decorative silhouette and glassware.

The glass insert should be removed and washed gently by hand in warm soapy water using a soft cloth. The metal spelter base requires light dusting with a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes or immersion in water to preserve the surface patina.
