VICTORIAN REPOUSSÉ STERLING SILVER CENTERPIECE, SHEFFIELD, 1898

This exceptional Victorian sterling silver centerpiece bowl, hallmarked for Sheffield in 1898, exemplifies the opulent aesthetic of late 19th-century British silverwork. Bearing the maker’s mark of the esteemed Henry Atkin, the piece features a deeply lobed body adorned with intricate repoussé floral motifs and scrolling acanthus leaves. The scalloped rim is heavily chased with a matching border of blossoms and shellwork, radiating from a central sunburst medallion. Raised on a spreading fluted pedestal foot with a beaded edge, this bowl demonstrates masterly craftsmanship and a substantial gauge of silver, typical of the high-quality hollowware produced during the twilight of the Victorian era.
