About the Item
An exceptional, fine and impressive antique George III English cast sterling silver taperstick made by William Cafe; an addition of AC Silver's ornamental silverware collection.
This exceptional antique George III cast sterling silver taperstick has a circular rounded form with a shaped figural column.
The cylindrical capital of this cast silver taperstick is encircled with moulded girdles, in addition to a bead decorated border to the rim.
The capital surmounts a circular drip pan, ornamented with further bead ornamentation.
The exceptional cast sterling silver column has been modeled in the form of a Harlequin.
