Antique Reed & Barton Silverplate Flower Frog (c. 1890–1920)

An exquisite antique pierced flower frog by the renowned American silversmith Reed & Barton, dating to the late Victorian–Edwardian period.

Crafted in electroplated silver over copper, this domed flower frog features beautifully detailed repoussé decoration, delicate openwork panels, and a softly scalloped edge. Designed to rest atop a bowl or vase, the pierced openings gently cradle individual stems, allowing flowers to stand upright and be artfully arranged — a functional object elevated to sculpture.

Over time, the silverplate has worn gracefully, revealing warm copper tones beneath. The resulting patina adds depth, character, and that unmistakable old-world charm so loved in antique interiors.

A timeless piece that works just as beautifully today — styled with a few garden stems, resting atop a simple bowl, or displayed as an object of interest on a shelf or table.
