Fabulous Antique Early Victorian Silver Plated Egg Cruet Set & Stand

This superb quality silver plated egg Cruet set is of circular form

The egg cups have a lovely pierced design and are standing on 4 individual pegs.

Flanked by a ornate open fretwork pierced design gallery embossed

with floral decoration with gadrooned rope twist borders on top and

bottom. There are 4 spoon rests on top of the gallery.

Standing on 3 nicely crafted feet.

The 4 spoons are not original to the set and are stamped EPNS,

but are a nice addition with their floral design.

The elaborate carry handle is a piece of art in its own right, in

classic early Victorian style with slots in its base to insert the spoons

Dating to c.1840-1860 the silver plating is very reminiscent of

Old Sheffield Plate in appearance.

It is not uncommon for pieces of this period not to have a

Makersmark but looking at the quality and the Craftmanship it\'s

most likely to be made In Sheffield by an accomplished Silversmith.

It\'s a rare find to find a piece of this quality in such a great condition.

The plating is superb with minimal ware, clean bright and gleaming,

commensurate with age and use.

All in all a superb piece of silverware that would grace any

table or setting

Dimensions: 17cm in diameter and 22cm in height
