Description

A large decorative centerpiece bowl of oval form. The interior and exterior surfaces are finished with a heavily hammered, planished texture in a reflective silver-toned white metal, likely nickel-plated or polished stainless steel. The bowl is flanked by two handles fashioned from polished natural horn or a high-quality composite material, displaying variegated tones of cream, brown, and black. These handles are secured by silver-toned metal collars and capped with spherical finials. A small, indistinct impressed mark is present on the horizontal collar of one handle, though the characters remain illegible. The design is in the style of contemporary high-end decorative homeware often associated with brands such as Peltrina or Majestic.


Condition report:

The item is in good overall condition. There are light surface scratches and minor instances of oxidation and tarnishing to the metal surfaces, consistent with age and decorative use. The handles exhibit natural variations in colour and texture. No significant dents or structural damage are observed.
