LILY PAD CENTREPIECE & CORAL CANDELABRA
This extraordinary dining table centrepiece was a private commission through the prestigious interior design firm “Oro Bianco”. The brief was to create something whimsical and romantic to add a sense or magic to a dining room. It comprises of solid silver lily pads, lotus flower candle holders, dragon flies, fish salt cellars and frog pepper pots. The whole piece can be broken down and scattered the length of a dining table, or fitted together to create one central focal point.
The pair of coral candelabra stand half a metre tall and have shell encrusted bases with branches of coral reaching up, each holding six oyster shell candleholders.
