Accurate Description of Item
One Late 19th Century Meriden Epergne
Appraiser Remarks
This is what's called a "Epergne", an ornamental centerpiece for a dining table, typically used for holding fruit or flowers. They were very popular in the late Victorian period (1875-1900) and had a second revival during the late 1980's , along with the demand for other Victorian decorating items. Since then values have been in decline though.
Estimated Value
