Antique Silver-Plated Repoussé Bonbon Dish

Victorian
Antique
An antique silver-plated bonbon dish found in Belgium, of British or American origin and likely dating to the late 19th century. A charming example of Victorian vanity ware, it is defined by its petite pedestal silhouette and a soft, time-worn patina. The vessel is intricately crafted with ornate floral "repoussé" work, featuring high-relief roses and botanical motifs hammered into the silver-plated surface. It is marked with a small "sun" hallmark on the base. Originally used as a small dresser dish, it remains a timeless staple of the refined antique interior.

A NOTE ON CHARACTER
Each piece shows the gentle marks of time, adding to its character. Photos reflect the condition; variations may occur. This piece features a beautiful, naturally aged patina with subtle surface scratches and 'bleeding'—where the original silver plate has worn to reveal the warm, copper-toned base metal underneath. All sales are final. Every curve and imperfection tells a story — a testament to the Maison Amaranth ethos of bringing objects with soul into your home.
