Ilias Lalaounis Greek Brass & Sterling Silver Dishes – Rare Set of Two
£ 70.00
On offer is a rare and collectible pair of Ilias Lalaounis decorative dishes, crafted in brass with central sterling silver roundels, each featuring exquisite Greek classical motifs. These elegant pieces are marked “925” for sterling silver and exemplify the timeless design and craftsmanship that has made Ilias Lalaounis a legendary name in the world of luxury Hellenic art and jewellery.
Measuring approximately 120mm in diameter, each dish features a silver central medallion:
One shows a mythological Pegasus figure, beautifully detailed and rich in classical symbolism.
The other displays a Greek hexagonal design with traditional script, likely inspired by ancient coinage or architectural ornament.
These dishes were designed not merely as functional items but as miniature works of art, blending traditional Greek iconography with modern design principles. Both pieces are in good original condition with unpolished surfaces, retaining their natural aged patina, which can be preserved or polished to your preference.
👤 About the Maker – Ilias Lalaounis:
Ilias Lalaounis (1920–2013) was a renowned Greek jeweller and artist, globally celebrated for reviving ancient Greek techniques and symbolism in contemporary forms. He was the only jeweller ever inducted into the French Academy of Fine Arts, and his creations are held in major collections including the British Museum and the Met Museum in New York. His work is widely considered among the most significant of 20th-century decorative arts.
Lalaounis often collaborated with skilled artisans to create not just jewellery but also functional art pieces—such as these dishes—bridging the gap between utility and high design. Pieces bearing his name and influence are increasingly sought after, particularly those integrating sterling silver and classical Greek design.
