About the Item

Both high style and highly rare, this centerpiece or epergne surmounted by a silvered bronze squirrel was created by the celebrated Oscar Bach studio in New York. Oscar Bach was, along with Samuel Yellin, one of America's premier metalworkers in the 1920s and 1930s. He crafted enormous metal sculptures designed by Hildreth Meière for Radio City Music Hall, as well as countless sculptures, lighting fixtures and furniture for wealthy homeowners and institutions across America. He also crafted a line of very fine tabletop decorative items, usually composed of bronze or silvered metal, marked "BACH Products" with a logo consisting of the company name supported by a nude male figure. This is very first example of this epergne we have seen.
