This lot offers an epergne, notable for its quartet of lily-form vases emanating from a central stem, each vase featuring a fluted edge. The structure is characterized by curvilinear arms and a round base, executed in silver plate with a high shine, indicative of the era's preference for intricate yet functional centerpieces. The second piece is a coffee urn, standing at 19 inches, with a pronounced presence that balances utility and decorative artistry. It showcases a bulbous body, embellished with engraved floral motifs, flanked by handles with detailed relief work, with crucifix on lid finial. The urn is mounted on a heating base, complete with scrolled legs and a black handle. Provenance: Property of a Bloomfield Hills, MI private collector.
