Product Description
This elegant Art Deco sterling silver trophy cup was crafted by Barker Brothers and hallmarked in Birmingham in 1928, a period celebrated for its refined geometry and understated luxury. The cup features a classic balanced form with a gently flared rim and refined proportions typical of late-1920s British silver, making it both a functional object and a sculptural decorative piece. Standing approximately 14cm tall, it has a pleasing weight and presence, whether displayed as a decorative accent, used as a presentation cup, or repurposed as a small vase or table centre.
The piece remains in good vintage condition, showing only minimal signs of wear consistent with age and use, and retains clear hallmarks confirming its sterling silver purity and date. Please contact us for further details or additional photographs.
A timeless piece that bridges craftsmanship and design, well suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
If This Piece Could Talk – I was born in Birmingham in 1928, at a time when craftsmanship still mattered and celebration was something to be marked in silver. I may have been raised to honour an achievement — a sporting victory, a club milestone, a quiet triumph now long forgotten — but my purpose was always more than inscription alone. I have stood proudly on a mantel, perhaps polished before gatherings, lifted briefly in acknowledgment, then returned to watch the years pass. Through changing fashions and shifting rooms, I remained — solid, silver, and patient. Now I wait again, ready for a new chapter, whether as a reminder of past excellence or a vessel for something entirely new.
