Silvered Shell Place Card Holders, Set of Eight

$48.00

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.

Modeled after the scallop shell—a motif long associated with European pilgrimage and classical ornament—these decorative table appointments draw upon the enduring tradition of rocaille forms found throughout Renaissance and Baroque decorative arts.

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.
