During the recent silver spot spike, when prices approached $120/oz, all silver collectors and enthusiasts had a hard time. We had similar situations in the past... All kinds of morons run to pawn shops and refineries, melting their Grandma’s Tiffany and Paul Storr silverware. Centuries-old treasures disappear into bars and casinos the very same night.
Every time silver prices jump, we are afraid that real treasures will become impossible to find. And indeed, it is getting harder and harder — fewer opportunities, and much more hard work for collectors.
However, today luck is on our side.
Look at this amazing, simply breathtaking Samovar, or Hot Tea Urn, by Peter Krider, retailed by J.E. Caldwell.
When we say “museum object,” it is actually an understatement. Not too many museums in the world can proudly exhibit silverware of this cosmic level. And when you combine that with the fantastic condition, you know — this treasure will be the center of any serious antique collection.
If you are looking for a gift for someone who has everything — I mean EVERYTHING — this object will meet the highest expectations of anybody. For me, this is exactly why we keep collecting.
After seeing thousands of pieces, after chasing opportunities that become rarer every year, once in a while something like this comes along and reminds you why antique silver is so addictive. This is one of those pieces. Images tell the story of this museum object!
Weight: hefty 2078 Grams or 73.3 Oz (yes, it's over 2 KILO!, non-weighted silver)
Dimensions: about 19" tall, 10 1/2" wide!
Condition: EXCELLENT pre-loved estate condition (about 170 years old - unbelievable). There's no internal burner, just the urn, all original, clear marks, perfectly clean and bold decoration, not over-polished. NO repairs or removals, NO monograms, maybe some lightest scratches... Overall, it's genius of Krider and legendary taste of Caldwell, combined in one historical piece of art! Enjoy!
