Silver Pair of Rococo Style Vases 1890

A magnificent pair of silver vases of baluster form, each richly chased in the Rococo style with swirling foliage on the body. The flared necks are finished with an undulating frilled border, while the spreading bases are cast with exuberant acanthus and floral ornament. The lobed bodies and restless surface decoration are handled with great confidence and skill. A rare and impressive pair, full of the vitality and decorative ambition that defines the finest Victorian silver of the period. They would make a dramatic statement in any interior.
