Antique Figural Napkin Ring Flower Leaf Base Rogers - $358.00

This is a wonderful original silver plate antique victorian figural napkin ring marked with #162 Rogers Silver Quadruple Plate for Rogers Silver, USA that was acquired and the named changed in 1879 when acquired by Meriden Britannia. The napkin ring features a flower on one side, a curving stem on the other and is seated on a leaf. It was totally black, but it has cleaned up to reveal very little plating loss and would probably shine up beautifully. These figural victorian napkin rings are becoming ever more difficult to find and this is a wonderful example as well as just the thing to still grace an elegant tea table.

Pair Old Sheffield Plate Wine Coasters. - $284.00

A pair of wine decanter or bottle coasters, with turned wooden bases and gadrooned edges. They each measure 4.5cm high (1.3/4 inches) and are just under 15cm diameter (5.3/4 inches). No maker's or other marks. The bases underneath have lost their baize, having only a rough cloth over the wood, but baize is easily replaced. Very good condition - there are a few tiny dents to one, and one to the other. The copper bleed is only seen underneath the bottom edge, where the plate is folded over, and inside on the raised edges of the moulded sides (there is so much reflection of the base wood, that it's hard to spot the copper. A very nice pair. You can feel the rim under the edge of the gadrooning. Circa early to mid 19th century.

Silver Handled Fruit Knives and Forks, Set for 6. - $222.00

A set of 6 fruit knives and forks (or entree knives and forks - great for luncheon dishes too). They have very ornate sterling silver handles, with a intertwined embossed design of grapes, leaves and wheat. The blades and tines are silver plated. The sterling silver handles are hallmarked as being made by M. H. & Co (Martin Hall & Co), Sheffield. There are no date marks - just the lion, the Queen's head and the crown of Sheffield. Probably mid 19th century. Knives are 21.5cm long, and forks are 18cm long (8.1/4 inches and 7 inches). Condition: This set has been used, and the blades and tines show scuffing commensurate with this. There is loss of plate in a few bubbles on the blades (see photo), and at the fork tips. Two of the forks have a gap between the silver collar and the beginning of the silver plated metal (see close-up photo of this). This is generally caused by either washing them in too hot water, or putting them through a dishwasher. (The glue inside the handles melts, and the metal pulls away ). It can be reversed by heating and re-seating the metal - I have had my own set done. However, it is not hugely noticeable, and the forks can be used quite easily as they are. This is a beautiful set, some 150 years old. To be perfect, you could have the blades and tines replated, reseat the few items that need it, and you would have a valuable antique set to enjoy and pass on. Or - use them as they are, and accept their age and beauty.

Georgian Sterling Silver Creamer, English. - $720.00

A small jug, sterling silver, dating from the mid 18th century, George III period. The hallmarks are rubbed, but the crowned leopard's head is visible, and the initials of the maker "I.P." or it could be "I.F" in a shaped stamp, with a large dot centrally midway up the stamp between the I and the following letter. There are a number of possible London silversmiths who have somewhat similar marks, but I can't positively identify it. The date mark is rubbed badly, but a strong curve is visible - it could be the b of 1777. No king's head, so pre 1784. Silver weight is approx. 135grms. Jug itself is in very good condition - the only faults are that the little hoof feet have curled up more than they should (one particularly) and need to be unfurled a little - there are no fractures, and the legs have not been driven up into the body, so a simple job for a silversmith. Everything else is perfect - can't see any sign of repairs. Pretty engraved design of simple flowers and cartouches around the lobed central body. Measures 9.5cm high to top of handle, and 8.2cm wide including handle (3.1/2 inches by 3.1/4 inches). A charming little piece.

Sterling Silver Sauce Boat, Mappin & Webb, 1938. - $284.00

A sauce or gravy boat of classical proportions, on three hoofed feet. Made by Mappin & Webb, and hallmarked for Sheffield 1938. Shaped rim. Measures 7.5cm wide, 16cm long and 8.5cm wide (3 inches by 6.1/4 inches by 3.1/4 inches). Weight is approx. 95grms. Very good condition.

Sterling Silver, Floral Engraved Napkin Ring. - $45.00

A sterling silver napkin ring, with pretty engraving of flower and leaves either side of the cartouche. The initials "G.L.B." are engraved in the cartouche, in flowing script. Ring is just under 2cm high (3.4 inch) and is 4.5cm diameter (1.3/4 inches). Hallmarked for Birmingham (England) 1915. Very good condition.

Two Pepperettes, Victorian Period Sterling Silver. - $268.00

Two little pepper pots - very similar in design, but bearing different hallmarks. One is very fractionally shorter than the other, and the design while almost identical, is slightly smaller in detail. One pot is hallmarked for Birmingham 1892, and the other for Chester 1892. One has its marks underneath, the other has them on the neck. Both tops are also hallmarked, on their inside rim. Pots are very ornate, with scrolling embossed design of flowers and acanthus foliage. Central cartouches are unengraved. One pot measures 7.7cm high, the other 7.5cm high (a fraction over 3 inches and 2.15/16 inches high). The widest point is 3.75cm diameter (1.1/2 inches). The top on the Birmingham one is loose, but this is easily fixed by a silversmith. Slight dent up underneath the base of this one. The Chester pot has some tiny dents in the neck, nothing serious or ugly though. Otherwise, both are in very good condition. Maker's mark for the Birmingham pot is HE and RS.. The maker on the Chester pot is rubbed, but looks like BR... (maybe S).

Nielo Decorated Egyptian Napkin Rings - $37.00

Four napkin rings, decorated with nielo pictures of camels, boats on the Nile, buildings on the river banks, and palm trees. Vintage souvenirs of Egypt, made in what is probably lower grade of silver, possibly .800 or similar. Very attractive rings, approx 2.7cm high (1 inch) although each aries a little bit. Approx. 4.5cm diameter (1.3/4 inches). Very good condition.
