Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1880s:
Wheel-cut starbursts and swags: typical late Victorian decorative cut-glass work.
Facetted scalloped border to the thick glass plate: hand wheel-cut lapidary edging.
Beaded silver-plated retaining collar: border pattern popular in the late 19th century.
Turned timber base secured by recessed nuts: period plateau construction.
Even scuffing and rubbing to the underside: natural wear from long domestic use.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This Victorian table plateau, dating from circa 1880, consists of a circular mirror plate set within an ebonised wooden base and raised on three small feet. The piece features an ornate wheel-cut starburst pattern arranged in a ring, bordered by a silver plated, beaded metal rim. The materials provide a striking contrast between the reflective silver glass and the dark black timber surround. The plateau measures 4.5 cm high, 40 cm wide, and 40 cm deep. Today, this accessory serves as a decorative dining table centrepiece. It provides a reflective surface to display items such as a dessert, a suite of glasses, a flower-filled epergne, or a candle, while enhancing the surrounding light.

FAQs

A mirrored table plateau was designed in the 18th and 19th centuries as a decorative dining table centrepiece to elevate floral arrangements, candelabra, or sculptures, while reflecting light across the table.

Victorian examples commonly featured a silvered mirrored plate glass top, decorated with wheel-cut or etched motifs, framed by a silver-plated or beaded metal rim and supported by a turned wooden or ebonised base.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of period craftsmanship, such as subtle foxing or oxidisation to the silvered glass backing, hand-turned wooden bases, and precise wheel-cut starburst or geometric patterns.

Place the plateau at the centre of a dining table or sideboard to display pillar candles, crystal glassware, or botanical arrangements, using its reflective surface to bounce ambient light.

Clean the mirrored glass surface using a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water, avoiding excess liquid near the seams to prevent moisture from damaging the silvered backing or ebonised wood base.
