Antique Art Nouveau Sterling Silver Vermeil Bowl Repousse

Silver : Antique

 

Beautiful parcel gilt sterling silver bowl, hand chased and patterned. Ornately decorated with blossoms, foliate flourishes, rocailles with fluting throughout. Superb! I love the mixed metal pieces, and this one is finely made! The bottom of the bowl is also gilt. Commissioned by J. E. Caldwell & Co, to this day a well known and highly regarded merchandiser of exceptional quality jewelry, silver, glass and porcelain. I believe the bowl was amde by Gorham; there's a Gorham lion stamped on the bottom, and the pattern may be 991, buttercup. Caldwell's stamp is on the bottom, along with the pattern number and said lion. Dimensions: 7 1/2" diameter and 1 1/8" deep. A very unusual and beautiful bowl.
