About the Item

A pair of beautifully modelled silver plate pheasant table ornaments, made in Spain in the mid 20th century. Both the hen and cock pheasant sculptures are realistically modelled with outstretched wings, displaying excellent chased details to the bodies and plumage. Together they have a great energy between them and can be arranged in a variety of positions. The fashion for silver game birds as ornaments first developed in the early 20th century in England and has continued ever since. They make a very entertaining and decorative addition to the table or as sideboard ornaments. This model in particular is very desirable thanks to the dramatic dynamic between the male and female bird. Condition: there is a tiny crack on the underside of the tail of the cock pheasant, barely noticeable. Sizes: 23.7cm W x 11cm D x 10.1cm H 22.8cm W x 14cm D x 9.7cm H

Christofle Silver Plate Flower Shaped Caviar Set with Fish Spoons, Paris, c.1960

Christofle Silver Plate Flower Shaped Caviar Set with Fish Spoons, Paris, c.1960

By Christofle, Fleuron

Located in London, GB

A fine quality and wonderfully entertaining ‘Fleur de Poséidon’ / ‘Flower of Poseidon’ mid century silver plated fish-themed caviar set made by Christofle Fleuron in Paris, France, c. 1950-1960. The service displays as a flower whose petals can be removed for serving or tasting caviar, making it not just a visually stunning centrepiece, but also a fantastic interactive conversation piece. The caviar service has six spoons shaped as flower petals that stand upright in a variety of positions in the base: as an open flower, as an orchid, or as a closed flower in the shape of a lotus. In all instances the stylised fish design to the reverse of the spoons creates a very beautiful visual effect. The interior of the spoons is smooth with an elegant ridge to the centre. Intended for serving caviar, they can also be used for serving hors d’oeuvres, amuse-bouches or snacks. The base has a Renaissance-style dolphin to its centre whose curling tail adapts perfectly as a handle for the set. The dolphin is set above a floral fountain design for receiving the caviar spoons, which in turn sits upon an elegant Italianate pedestal. It is hallmarked with the maker’s mark ‘Fleuron France...
