VINTAGE SILVERPLATED CANDLEHOLDER, Hollywood Regency, Swans Decor , Dinning Table Centerpiece, G.B. Reg No1033795
Pattern: Swans
Mfg Date: Unconfirmed – possible early 20th century.
Details: This is a very elegant silver plated candle holder, also known as an “Epergne” (an ornamental centerpiece for a dining table, typically used for holding fruit or flowers. It may also be used as a designer object to hold candles, flowers or ornaments for a holiday etc. Epergnes were traditionally made from silver, however from around the start of the 20th century, glass was also used). It consists of four beautifully carved swans, each holding a flower on its head meant to hold taper candles. the swans sit on lovely scrolls, that mimic waves on the water.
This piece originally came with a glass bowl, this one no longer has the bowl, I am sure it would look perfect without it, or you can retro-fit your own beautiful glass or crystal bowl.
Based on research this is potentially a British piece, it is marked G. B. REG NO. 1033795 which could be a British registration mark or company number (all companies registered in the UK are assigned a number by Companies House).
