Antique Italian Silver-Plated Jardinière

An elegant antique tabletop centerpiece, featuring richly detailed silver-plated metalwork and its original removable glass liner.

The vessel is adorned with high-relief classical repoussé, scrolling acanthus motifs, and sculptural animal-form handles inspired by Greco-Roman design. Raised on decorative feet, the piece was intended to elevate flowers, fruit, or sweets at formal dining tables, allowing candlelight to reflect beautifully through the glass insert.

Perfect as:

• A table centerpiece

• A jardinière for moss or florals

• A refined bonbon or serving dish

• A statement vanity catch all

• Can be used safely as a candle vessel
