A Collection of Three Victorian and Early 20th Century Silver-Plated Vessels including Neoclassical and Repoussé Styles
Description
A varied grouping of three silver-plated metalware items exhibiting distinct decorative periods. The collection comprises a Neoclassical-style lidded coffee or chocolate pot of tapering form, featuring an angular handle and finely engraved laurel wreath motifs. Accompanying this is a highly decorative Victorian-style teapot, characterised by its rounded body with elaborate repoussé floral and scrollwork ornamentation, topped with a distinctive bird-form lid finial. The final piece is a tall, slender trumpet-shaped vessel, likely a vase or claret jug mount, featuring a wide flared rim and a circular footed base. While no maker’s marks are immediately apparent from the primary inspection, the styles are consistent with late 19th and early 20th-century manufacturers such as Wilcox Silver Plate Co. or WMF. Dimensions: Tallest vessel approximately 25 cm height, Coffee pot approximately 22 cm height, Teapot approximately 18 cm height.
Condition report:
