A masterclass in Art Deco design, this piece features a wide flared bowl supported by three elegant, elongated arms that curve gracefully from a stepped, gadrooned base. A polished silver sphere hovers at the center, enhancing the symmetry and sculptural appeal of the form.

Measuring 7.5 inches tall and 8.5 inches in diameter, this footed centerpiece is a statement of both refinement and structural drama. It exudes the glamour and precision of Machine Age styling, while its balanced proportions and neoclassical echoes make it an enduring accent in both vintage and modern interiors.

Barbour, a notable American silver maker active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was later absorbed by the International Silver Company. This piece reflects their craftsmanship at its peak, with a high-polish finish and Art Deco flourishes that recall the stylings of contemporaries like Georg Jensen, Eliel Saarinen, and Norman Bel Geddes.

Use it as a fruit bowl, floral vessel, or simply a captivating objet d’art.
