Vintage to antique silver plated trumpet vase marked “EPNS” (electro-plated nickel silver) and a lion-and unicorn logo with “LB” (Lehman Brothers Silver Company–see history below). The flared-out rim features etched and pierced designs with a traditional stylized flower basket motif. The vase measures 13.25″ tall x 7.25″ in diameter at the rim x 4.5″ at the base. Overall very good used vintage to antique condition; small dent at the base and some minor loss of plating on the rim, consistent with age and prior use. Stately, classic, elegant.

HISTORY (from online sources): The owners of Lehman Brothers Silver Company were from the same family as the founders of the infamous investment firm which collapsed in 2008. Lehman Brothers was founded by a German immigrant in 1841 as a dry goods store in Montgomery, Alabama, transitioning into a cotton brokerage company, even helping found the New York Cotton Exchange. In the late 1800s to early 1900s, it expanded into commodities, such as coffee, and became a member of the New York Stock Exchange, shifting into underwriting securities. A separate division, the Lehman Brothers Silver Company, was founded in 1905 in New York to create luxury silverplate items. They made heavy, quality silver-over-copper items like covered serving dishes, often featuring ornate designs and a lion hallmark. This venture tapped into a different market, offering high-end home goods alongside their core financial services, most active during the 1930s.

I purchased two items from this shop. They arrived surprisingly quickly, and it was evident that extreme care was taken to ensure they arrived safely. I greatly appreciate the attention and extra care when packaging up the items. How sad it would be to purchase an antique that has survived multiple generations, only to be destroyed by USPS! Thank you so much for a wonderful shopping experience!
