Add a touch of vintage elegance to your dining experience or antique display with this stunning table crumb catcher and matching brush set (often called a silent butler or table crumber).
Crafted in Japan during the early-to-mid 20th century, this set features incredibly detailed, raised repoussé (embossed) work. The central design beautifully highlights an intricate scene featuring two cherubs (putti) surrounded by a lush backdrop of scrolling floral vines and leaves. The set consists of a scalloped scoop-style collection pan and a long, matching nested brush designed to easily clear crumbs from dining linens.
The base of the pan is clearly stamped with a diamond maker's mark and reads "MADE IN JAPAN". It features a gorgeous, aged patina balancing rich copper and silver-toned highlights.
