This unusual small mirror plateau dates from the 1920s and is made by Elkington from silver plate, glass mirror, and mahogany. It has a bright silver colour with a reflective glazed top surface and polished metallic sides. The circular piece displays bevelled and fluted side panels that taper from top to bottom, complemented by egg-and-dart decorative bands around the top and base, alongside visible silvered spots on the original mirror and minor signs of plate wear. The stand measures 9 cm in diameter by 3 cm high. In a modern home, this Art Deco table accessory sits on a dining table centre, serving as a platform to display and complement a small glass or silver collectable, or to present a piece of jewellery.

FAQs

A mirror plateau is a low raised stand featuring a mirrored surface set within a metal or wooden frame, originally designed to reflect light and display dining table centrepieces such as epergnes, floral arrangements, or silver service items.

During the 1920s, table plateaux were commonly constructed using electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) or solid sterling silver framing, fitted with lead glass mirrored inserts and weighted felt or wooden undersides to protect tabletop surfaces.

Authentic Elkington pieces feature specific makers marks, including the company name, date letters or registration numbers stamped into the underside or outer rim of the silver-plated mounting.

A small silver mirror plateau can be placed on a dining sideboard, console table, or dressing table to elevate perfume bottles, decanters, or pillar candles, amplifying light across the surface.

Clean the metal surround using a soft cloth with specialist silver polish to prevent tarnish build-up, taking care to keep liquid polish away from the mirror backing to prevent silvering degradation.
