European, late 20th century.
A charming set of eight silvered shell-form place card holders, raised upon gilt bases and finishes with green baize undersides.

Ideal for formal entertaining, seasonal tablescapes, or as decorative accents upon an étagère, each holder offers a subtle interplay of silvered and gilt finishes that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Because every good room needs a past.
