Design Details

This gorgeous, matching 19th-century silver-plated hollowware set beautifully represents the Aesthetic Movement. Both pieces feature a striking, deeply engraved geometric and floral band around the upper body, adorned with circular rosettes, scrolling accents, and drop-pendant motifs. The pieces boast high-arching Victorian handles with decorative thumb rests, and the sugar bowl is complete with its original tiered lid and decorative finial. 

Condition: This antique set is in good condition; however, additional cleaning and polishing will need to be done. The circular underside rim of the lid is noticeably warped and out-of-round, featuring several minor bends and a wavy edge profile rather than a perfect circle.

For sale “AS IS”.
