<I>Bouquet holder, filigree, cornucopia</I>
ca.1830-1920
Silver filigree bouquet holder in cornucopia shape. The body of the holder is made from filigree swirls overlaid with an applied flower and leaves. The rim of the holder is scalloped and filled with diagonal ellipses. A filigree and round-link chain is attached to the inner curve of the cornucopia and connects to a loop-ended floral pin. The pin would be inserted through the vase to pierce the stems of a bouquet in order to secure the flowers inside the holder.
