At the heart of the pedestal, a finely cast cherub figure rises from a decorative base, supporting a crystalline cut-glass bowl adorned with delicate starburst and geometric etchings. Six sweeping, foliate arms branch outward, each terminating in a realistically sculpted bird in flight, creating a sense of movement and grandiosity. The contrast between the brilliant clarity of the glass and the aged warmth of the metal makes this centerpiece a breathtaking example of high-ornament artistry and period influence.


Perfectly suited for a formal dining room table or a grand entryway console, this statement piece measures 18.75" in diameter and stands 18" tall. It remains in excellent vintage condition, featuring a handsome, age-appropriate patina on the brass and minor surface wear that adds to its storied character. The glass bowl is beautifully preserved, reflecting light with remarkable clarity and brilliance. Whether used for a floral display or as a stand-alone sculptural centerpiece, this epergne is an heirloom-quality addition for any discerning collector.
