A Fine Silver and Gilt Bronze Table Centre Piece in the Form of a Gondola

This most unusual French silver and gilt bronze table centrepiece is a fine quality and highly decorative in its design. The oval gilt base stands on four feet, the front one is in the form of the sea gods face with the centre one having webbed and clawed feet and the rear is in the form of a surging wave. Above the silvered upper section of the stand is modelled as an uplifted wave with a sea horse at the front supporting the elegant gilt bronze gondola. It has an oarsman at the helm to guide it, and along the sides, there are decoratively cast silvered bronze garlands of flowers. The interior of the vessel has its original hand-blown ruby glass liner which can be used to display flowers or present fruit and nuts.

All in good condition. The silver and gilt finish is original and only shows light usage and wear in keeping with its age. Circa 1900

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.
