Silverplate over gilt brass with original parcel-gilt highlighting on the laurel swags, marked C\u0026amp;L with quality numeral 8, indicating a German or Austrian manufactory circa 1895 to 1915. Each piece holds its own removable beveled crystal liner cut precisely to the curve. Sourced in Paris this season. They stand stable independently, which means they work as a pair flanking a centerpiece, joined into a semicircle, or separately on a console or vanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Type | Pair of demilune jardinieres [d]Maker | C\u0026amp;L, German or Austrian manufactory [d]Material | Silverplate over gilt brass with parcel-gilt accents, beveled crystal liners [d]Hallmark | C\u0026amp;L with quality numeral 8 [d]Origin | Germany or Austria, sourced in Paris [d]Age | Circa 1895 to 1915 [d]Style | Louis XVI Revival [d]Size \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2.5\" H x 7.5\" W x 2\" D\u003c\/span\u003e | Sold as a pair, each demilune [d]Features | Removable beveled crystal liners original to the set, parcel-gilt highlights, pierced gallery, turned bun feet [condition] Both jardinieres present in very good antique condition with honest wear consistent with use over more than a century. The silverplate shows expected loss on the high points of the corner blocks and along the upper rims, exposing the warm gilt brass base metal beneath in small areas. This patina is original, has not been polished out, and is part of the appeal of the pieces. The parcel-gilt highlighting on the swags is original and intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAll eight bun feet are present, original, and tight.
