Fabulous Pair of Secessionist Silver Vases

19th century
Description

This is a wonderful pair of Victorian silver-plated vases in the Secessionist style.

They are tall and impressive, whilst being elegant in appearance. The glass is etched and the vertical lines lend more height. The bases feature a variety of decorative elements, including Greek keys, and stand on three sphinxes. There are patches where the silver plate has been rubbed away but these do not detract from the overall appearance.

There is some damage. One of the glass vases has lost about one centimetre of height from its base, which has been smoothed, and one of the stands has lost the bottom element to two of the hanging decorations. The vases are priced accordingly.

Dimensions:

Height: 31cm

Diameter of Bases: 10cm.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

This pair of Victorian vases reflects the Vienna Secessionist style and is constructed from silver-plated metal and clear glass. The design combines tall etched glass liners with vertical linear patterns, supported by angular metal handles and circular footed bases. The metal components display applied Greek key bands and decorative hanging elements, while the bases stand on three sphinx feet. The pieces show some condition issues, including patches of rubbed silver plate, a height reduction of about one centimetre to the base of one glass liner, and missing bottom elements on two hanging decorations. Each vase measures 31 cm in height with a 10 cm diameter base. Items of this scale and form suit placement on a sideboard top in a living or dining room. The reflective surfaces and clear glass liners provide an ornamental display for single stems or decorative branches. Placing the pair together creates a symmetrical arrangement on a flat surface, where the silver-plated finish and geometric patterns catch the light. The combination of glass and metal brings a distinct period character to interior settings without requiring extensive space.

FAQs

Originating in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Vienna Secessionist design favours geometric forms, linear ornamentation, and stylized motifs over lush floral curves, often combining silver or plated metal mounts with clear glass liners.

These decorative pieces typically feature blown or etched clear glass set into cast or stamped metal mounts made of solid silver, electroplated silver, or Britannia metal.

Authentic items frequently showcase maker marks or silver purity stamps near the base, accompanied by hand-etched geometric glass details and period-appropriate assembly methods.

Position the pair symmetrically on a dining table centre, sideboard, or mantelpiece to allow light to filter through the etched glass and highlight the polished silver mounts.

Wash glass liners gently using warm water and mild liquid soap, and polish the metal framework using a soft microfibre cloth with a non-abrasive silver cream.
