A Milanese sterling silver 20th century fountain centrepiece
Italian, 20th Century
Height: 33cm, width: 47cm, depth: 42cm.

This stunning centrepiece is an Italian sterling silver fountain, made in Milan in the twentieth century. The piece, set on fish-shaped legs, and decorated with mythical sea-monsters from whose mouths the water flows, consists of a rectangular shaped basin divided into four shell-shaped quadrants which are adorned with small silver crabs. A smaller basin sits atop the others, surmounted with a single central dolphin. The fountain is fully functioning and motorised, and the silver is stamped 925 for the quality, and marked 1018 MI for the maker, along with the inscription 'FATTO A MANO,' indicating it is handcrafted.
