Lancel Paris Silver Pedestal Bowl with Twisted Rope and Tassel Detail
A refined silver-plated pedestal bowl by the Parisian house Lancel, distinguished by its sculptural rope-twist rim and repeating tassel motifs—an elegant nod to classical French decorative language.
The form is beautifully balanced: a shallow circular basin raised on a clean, stepped pedestal base, allowing the piece to function equally as a centerpiece, catchall, or serving object. The braided rope border introduces a sense of movement, while the applied tassel elements lend a subtle neoclassical ornamentation—restrained yet unmistakably decorative.
Stamped Lancel Paris, the piece reflects the maison’s lesser-seen output beyond leather goods—objects that speak to a broader tradition of French luxury accessories and tablewares.
Founded in Paris in 1876, Lancel began as a maker of refined accessories and quickly expanded into a wider universe of decorative objects, including silverware and tabletop pieces, produced with an emphasis on craftsmanship and Parisian elegance.
This example likely dates to the mid-to-late 20th century, when Lancel produced a range of sophisticated silver-plated objects for the home—now increasingly scarce on the secondary market.
