Condition
Excellent antique condition, solid Sterling silver is bright / polished and in excellent order, free from nasty dents or heavy scratches, one jug has a small minute pinhead bruise, very minor and doesn't effect the jugs looks in anyway.
Both Lids are perfect with straight strong 5 joint hinges, both jugs pour perfectly, Sterling silver is bright and shiny without any dull areas.
Both Jugs interior are beautifully polished and very hygienic.
Both Rattan Handles are perfect, no damage and no issues whatsoever, both are in pristine condition.
Silver is a very soft metal and will scratch very easily, however these jugs are excellent antique condition and may show some light marks / scratches, but they would be very minor, they are 120 years of age.
