Large Vintage Hammered Brass Center Bowl with Koi Fish Pedestal, Made in Italy
Large Italian Hammered Brass Center Bowl with Koi Fish Pedestal
This striking large vintage Italian brass center bowl combines sculptural presence with timeless Old World charm. Expertly crafted with a beautifully hammered finish, it is elevated upon an ornate pedestal formed by two gracefully arched koi fish—traditional symbols of prosperity, harmony, perseverance, and good fortune.
Oval in form, the bowl is enhanced by elegant decorative side handles and richly detailed classical scrollwork accented with fleur-de-lis motifs. The hand-hammered brass surface catches and reflects the light beautifully, while its naturally developed golden patina adds warmth, depth, and unmistakable vintage character.
Stamped "Made in Italy," this impressive centerpiece reflects Italy's long-standing tradition of exceptional decorative metalwork. Combining artistic craftsmanship with practical versatility, it serves equally well as a dramatic centerpiece, fruit bowl, floral display, or simply as a sculptural decorative object in its own right.
Whether displayed on a dining table, sideboard, console, or grand entry table, this handsome brass centerpiece brings history, artistry, and refined European elegance to any interior.
Condition
Very good vintage condition.
The bowl is structurally sound and beautifully preserved, displaying a warm, naturally aged patina with light surface wear consistent with age and careful use. Light scratches are present within the interior of the bowl, as shown in photographs #7 and #8, but do not detract from its impressive presentation.
Please review all photographs carefully, as they are considered part of the description and provide additional details regarding the finish, craftsmanship, and overall condition of this vintage piece.
Additional photographs are always available upon request.
