Antique English Silver Plated Mechanical Biscuit Barrel or Biscuiteer

This antique silver plated mechanical biscuit barrel is completely unsigned, but presumed to have originated from England and date to approximately 1920 and done in a Victorian style. This biscuiteer is shaped somewhat like an artichoke and has a ball handle and three triangular shaped drop down sections that each have a respective pierced cover. The sections have scallped outers with stylized raised scroll designs and are held in plate at the top with a simple ring and ball mechanism. The biscuit barrel stands on three raised feet and is very sturdy.
