FAQs

An epergne is an elaborate dining table centrepiece popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, designed with central branches or tiers supporting small dishes for sweetmeats, fruit, or flowers.

Victorian centrepieces were primarily constructed using sterling silver or electroplated silver (EPNS), often paired with hand-cut crystal or molded glass dishes.

Authentic Elkington & Co. silver-plated items feature stamped maker marks incorporating the name Elkington, date letters, and often crowned shield hallmarks or registration numbers.

A Victorian silver centrepiece can serve as a sculptural focal point on a modern dining table, sideboard, or kitchen island, juxtaposing historic detail against contemporary decor.

Glass components should be washed separately in lukewarm water, while silver-plated elements should be polished gently using non-abrasive silver cream and soft cotton cloths to prevent wear to the plating.
