This beautifully preserved piece features intricate pierced floral and foliate work wrapping around the entire bowl, framed by flowing Art Nouveau-style handles.

About EPNS and the Art Nouveau Era:
EPNS, or Electro Plated Nickel Silver, became widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a more affordable yet luxurious alternative to solid silver. This piece exemplifies the peak of the Art Nouveau movement (circa 1890–1910), known for its flowing lines, botanical themes, and emphasis on fine craftsmanship.
While the specific maker is unmarked, the stylistic elements strongly suggest it was produced by a British or Continental silversmith working in the Art Nouveau tradition, likely from a reputable firm specializing in decorative silver plate during this golden era of design.

✔️ Antique silver and EPNS collectors
✔️ Art Nouveau and early 20th-century design enthusiasts
