 🔎 Analysis & Assessment
 Material & Technology :
 Silver-plated copper, glass top with a starburst pattern. Such combinations were particularly popular in France around 1900–1920 , especially as jewelry or toiletry trays (washstands, boudoirs).
 Marking “Argenter” :
 Indicates a French origin. "Argenter" was less an exclusive silver manufacturer than a trade/workshop hallmark for silver-plated goods. Collectors appreciate it, but it's not as prestigious as, for example, Christofle .
 Style :
 Rococo-inspired, curved shape. Very decorative, suitable for Art Nouveau/Belle Époque interiors.
 Condition :
 Silver plating clearly worn away → the copper is visibly visible.
 Glass plate intact and beautifully decorated.
 Overall authentic patina , which is appreciated by many collectors, but for buyers looking for "like new" this is a disadvantage.
