This is a magnigicient sterling epergne fashioned in the 18th century style, with a large removeable bowl flanked by two smaller removeable bowls supported by two arms which slot into the main structure. Though it may appear flimsy it is of a sturdy constuction with cast legs and decorative swags. The amazing thing is the matching sterling plateau. Sterling plateaus are rare but a matched epergne and plateau is pretty unique.
It is in extremely good condition. The only flaw I could detect was a few tiny black specks in the mirror, most probably age-realated.
The entire ensemble was made by the Alexander Clark Manufacturing Co. Od Fenchurch Street, London 1906/7, a firm that specialized in centerpieces, dessert stands and candelabra.
Dimensions: Total height 18", total length 28". Plateau measures 19" by 15".
Weight of epergne only 106 Troy oz. Plateau is unweighable due to mirror and wood base.
