Here we have our very pretty Art Nouveau antique s

Here we have our very pretty Art Nouveau antique silver flower epergne🌼

It stands on a hand pierced oval base and has three detachable trumpet vases which are finely pierced to the top.

The epergne - which is all silver (no weighting to the base) - is in excellent condition and hallmarked correctly to all the detachable parts.

Underneath the base, it is engraved "Mappin & Webb" to one side and, to the other, it carries a registered design mark for 1912. Mappin & Webb would have registered this mark so no competitors could copy their design.

Dimensions: height 23 cm, width across 37 cm; weight 17 troy oz.
