Antique Silverplate Epergne Centerpiece Plateau

Description

* * * *   ENGLISH EPERGNE   -   REED & BARTON PLATEAU
* * * *
For sale is an antique English silver plate centerpiece epergne with a center bowl,
3 hanging baskets, 3 trumpet vases all with open work made sometime circa 1907,
paired with a lovely silver plate and mirrored plateau made by Reed & Barton.
This beautiful epergne is 12-1/4" tall and 13" across; weighs 1,185 grams or 2.63 lbs.
There is a maker's hallmark but I cannot quite make it out.  We do know it is English
as there is an English Design Registry Number RD 494249 issued sometime in 1907.
The mirrored plateau is 14" across by 2-1/8" high; weighs 2,425 grams or 5.34 lbs.
The plateau is marked REED & BARTON and number 187.
This epergne centerpiece is in really nice used condition.  Hard to believe it is over
a hundred years old: it came from a local estate and the previous owner took great
care of it.  The hanging baskets are in great shape and the trumpet vases have sealed
ends so they don't leak water (all were tested).  But what really is amazing is how good
the silver plating remains.  The plateau is in equally great condition and together they
make a great combination.  If you are looking for an epergne centerpiece with a
plateau you won't find a nicer one.  No monograms.
