A magnificent and complete Reed & Barton silverplate epergne and candelabra centerpiece in their dramatic pattern #165 — one of the most beautiful and sought-after centerpiece forms Reed & Barton ever produced. This extraordinary piece served as the centerpiece of a family dining table for generations, used and loved exactly as it was designed to be. All 3 original cut glass bowls are present and in perfect condition — no chips, cracks, or repairs — making this an exceptionally rare complete example.
The #165 is the ultimate convertible centerpiece. Configured as a candelabra it holds 3 taper candles — one at center, one on each elegant scrolling arm. Install the original cut glass bowls and it transforms into a full epergne, each bowl cradling flowers, fruit, or floating candles. Use both simultaneously for the most dramatic formal table presentation imaginable. At 12 inches tall and nearly 20 inches across with the bowls installed, this commands any table it graces.
The ornate silverplate body features deeply worked foliate and acanthus scrollwork throughout the central column, arms, and base — the kind of elaborate hand-finished detailing that defines Reed & Barton's mid-century hollowware at its finest.
Includes anti-tarnish storage pouch
