Antique Silver Sugar Casters Boxed . Open up the case and you certainly get the WOW factor. These two lovely sugar casters are of a baluster shape and are highly decorative with an embossed pattern of flowers, leaves and scrolls that cover most of the bodies. They each have a shaped blank cartouche, so they could be personalised. They have circular pedestal bases which have a decorative textured border around the rims. They have pull off domed lids and each having four panels of sifter holes, two having a diamond pattern with circular holes and the other two with what I can best describe as a fountain shape with tear drop shaped sifter holes. Separating the four panels is a band of plain silver. The tops have a tall flame finial. They are made from a good guage of silver and have clear hallmarks. They come complete in their fitted burgundy case
Assay Office: CHESTER
Date: 1898/99
Makers Marks: G.N over R.H (Geroge Nathan & Ridley Hayes)
Dimensions: They are 5.75 inches tall and just over 2 inches wide at their widest point. They weigh a total of 214g
Condition: They are both in very good condition, but there is just one little miniscule shallow dent in one of the plain panels in one of the lids, but only noticed on really close inspection. The box is in very good condition inside with just a little wear to the outer covering, but again this is minor
Remarks: This really is a super boxed pair of antique solid silver sugar casters, that if you could bear to part with them would make a lovely, Engagement, Wedding or Silver Wedding present for a very lucky couple that could be passed down through future generations and would increase in value. They will also be of particular interest to collectors of Chester silver. Please do not miss them
Overseas Purchasers Please Note: Due to the value of this item, I having to limit these to UK purchasers only
Antique and vintage silver by its very nature has been previously used. Silver is a comparatively soft metal and a combination of many years use invariably leaves its mark. I do endeavour to describe all items accurately but do not expect any antique to be in “as new condition”.
