Description

A Matched Pair of English Silver-Plate Urn-Form Wine Coolers

Sheffield, Early 19th Century


Height of taller 13 3/4 x width over handles 8 3/4 inches.


This lot is located in Chicago.

Condition
Each in stable, usable condition. Scuffs and scratches consistent with age and use. Polish residue and areas of tarnish present as is typical. One example is engraved with armorials to both sides; the other only has engraving on one side. (The engravings differ between the two examples.) The one that is twice-engraved has a more dull/matte finish overall, likely from polishing. There are areas where the silver plating has been worn away and the underlying copper-tone metal is visible. Each has a conforming liner which fits flush to the interior and is easily removable.
