Description :

Decorative three-arm trumpet vase or epergne-style centerpiece made from EPNS (electroplated nickel silver). Features three removable flared trumpet-form vases arranged at different angles on a sculptural metal frame with a fluted pedestal base. The original underside label reads “E.P.N.S. Vase Stand – Made in India” and notes that it is for decorative purposes only.

Approx. Measurements
Approx. 12–15 in. tall × 10–13 in. wide
Individual trumpet vases approx. 7–10 in. long
Measurements should be confirmed.

Condition
Good vintage condition with noticeable tarnish, oxidation and surface wear throughout. Green oxidation is visible around at least one trumpet/base connection. No obvious major breaks visible. Would likely brighten considerably with careful silver-plate polishing, although some buyers may prefer the aged patina.

Historical Note
EPNS stands for electroplated nickel silver, a base-metal alloy coated with a thin layer of silver. Multi-trumpet vase stands were inspired by traditional epergnes and became popular decorative centerpieces, particularly for displaying individual flower stems.

Estimated Value
35–60
