A gleaming Italian silver plated platter with a sculptural flourish: a branch of oak leaves and acorns rests along one side of its broad, gently raised rim. Made by Egidio Broggi of Milan, it has the presence of a centerpiece and the versatility of a serving piece.

The asymmetrical decoration gives designers a natural focal point for a dining table, bar, or console. It would also make a distinctive luxury gift for a host, a design enthusiast, or a couple with a taste for expressive vintage pieces.

Available companion pieces from this oak leaf and acorn collection by Egidio Broggi include two lidded vessels, each sold separately.

Measurements
Approximately 12.5 in (31.8 cm) in diameter × 1 in (2.5 cm) high across the platter. The applied oak-and-acorn decoration rises above the rim.

Condition
Good vintage condition with a bright reflective finish. The serving surface shows visible fine scratches, marks, and areas of dullness from use, as photographed. The applied botanical decoration has attractive depth and detail. Please examine the photograph closely for the surface condition.

History of the maker
Broggi began as a Milanese silverworking business in 1818 and became celebrated for tableware and serving pieces. This platter is part of an Egidio Broggi series distinguished by applied oak leaves and acorns; matching forms include lidded bowls and other decorative pieces.

Ways to use it
Present pastries, wrapped chocolates, or cocktail accompaniments, keeping the sculptural branch in view. Use it on a coffee table to gather art books and small objects, or on an entry console for invitations and correspondence. For a more unexpected arrangement, stand it upright on a plate easel as a reflective wall or shelf accent, or use it as the base for a candle grouping with protective holders beneath the candles.
