One Late Victorian Art Nouveau Bronze Centerpiece with a Cameo Glass bowl insert
Appraiser Remarks
Based on what we can see in the images provided this appears to be a late Victorian period Art Nouveau Centerpiece with a "Cameo Glass" type bowl insert, the name coming from this type of glassware resembling cameo cut jewellery made from carved conch shell.
Most like this are Continental pieces, the bases made in Austria, the glass ware French or Bohemian, the glassware by the better known makers such as Daum Nancy or Galle generally being well marked, those by lesser known companies using paper or foil labels which have long since been removed or simply worn off over time.
Values last peaked for Victorian decorative pieces like this during the 1980's through early 1990's, demand and values have taken a tumble since that time. In the current market comparable pieces now go at auction for under $450.00
