This listing is for an ornate antique silver-plated hot water urn or samovar, featuring a beautifully detailed Victorian design. The piece is unmarked but is consistent in style and construction with 19th-century English silver plate, possibly of Sheffield origin.

The urn features:

• Lion head handles with hanging rings

• Footed base with claw-style feet

• Center burner/warmer beneath to keep liquid hot

• Decorative finial and ribbed lid edge

• Elegant neoclassical detailing on supports and spout

The spout appears intact and functional, though the piece has not been water-tested.

Condition:

This piece shows significant patina, tarnish, and silver plate wear, particularly on the body where the brass or copper base metal is visible. There are no maker’s marks that we could find. Sold as found for display or restoration. Please review all photos for condition.
