Vintage Silverplate Rembrandt Hotel Fluted Epergne

Found at a silver market in England, this lovely Vintage Silverplate Rembrandt Hotel Fluted Epergne features a trio of graceful trumpet-shaped vases. With two petite shaped vessels extending from a generously-sized central vase, this handsome and substantial epergne makes a grand statement with its majestic silhouette.

Built in 1911 as the first 'in town' leisure apartment offerings by the legendary Harrods department store, the historic Rembrandt Hotel boasts a celebrated history all its own. Located just across from the Victoria & Albert Museum within a mere 5 minute walk (or carriage ride!) of the retail emporium, the Rembrandt originally made its mark as one of the first steel and concrete structures in Great Britain.

Alas, this lavishly designed architectural jewel from the Edwardian era enjoyed only a short time within the Harrods empire. Requisitioned for military use during World War I, the building was acquired following the Armistice by the Welsh company RE Jones. One of several London hotels in their portfolio until the mid 1960s, the company spared no expense in consigning bespoke china, serveware and décor for their pretigious properties.

Dating from the 1930s and produced for RE Jones by Harrods own silversmiths, these elegant epergnes are top stamped on either the base or the side of the central vase with the Rembrandt Hotel's monogram, as well as bottom stamped with the Harrods name and mark. Filled with flowers, branches or seasonal décor, this lasting memento from a lasting partnership promises to bring its rich history and stately grandeur to your dining table, buffet or sideboard.

Strictly limited and subject to prior sale. In original vintage condition. Although nearly similar, each epergne has subtle differences which can be viewed in the alternate images. Please select your choice from the drop down menu above. 9.75"H x 11"W.
