Money in Swirls

Created c. 1890 by Philippe Wolfers and Isidore De Rudder for the Louis Wolfers Père & Fils firm, this silver centerpiece belongs to the “Le Maraudeur” series, several pieces from which, dating from the same period, are now housed at the Design Museum in Ghent. The piece, to be offered at CR-Art Auction on Thursday, November 12, in Harelbeke, features an asymmetrical structure with sinuous lines, where sculpted supports intertwine with foliage and plant motifs, weighing a total of 10.5 kilograms of silver. Estimate: € 15,000–20, 000
