Vintage English Silver Plate Silent Butler with Removable Lid & Ebonised Handle

About the Item

A vintage silver plated English Silent Butler with an ebonised wooden handle. The lid, engraved with a lion, raises to show a rectangular recessed receptacle. The hollow space underneath the recess allows for the safe collection of hot debris such as cigar or cigarette ash without the entire butler becoming hot. The lid can be easily removed for ease of cleaning. The underside has a stamp reading "SILVER PLATED MADE IN ENGLAND" within which is a rearing unicorn in a diamond shaped lozenge. A silent butler is a small receptacle with a handle and hinged cover, used for collecting ashes, crumbs and other dining detritus. Silent butlers represent a time when great attention was paid to utilitarian objects used in even the simplest acts of sweeping up crumbs or emptying ashtrays. Dimensions: 12"d x 8.75"w x 3.5"h Condition: Good. Generally in clean and undamaged condition. A few small surface scratches, consistent with age and use, to the underside.

Large Antique Buffet Food Warmer From The Household Supply Bond St. London

Located in Morristown, NJ

London, England C. 1884 a Boyd's Patent Campaign Cooker Food Warmer, also known as The Universal Heater. This unit is larger than others, having four openings for warmers. It has a removable top with a scalloped edge, is silverplate and has interlocking monogram engraved on the top (the initials are LW/WL with a crown symbol). The stand bottom is marked, "BOYD'S PATENT" and has six turned wooden bun feet. The underside also has a plaque reading "THE HOUSEHOLD SUPPLY AND ATMOSPHERIC CHURN COMP'Y LTD, 119 NEW BOND ST, W". While missing the original spirit burners, modern day sternos would work well. This is a very attractive and decorative item that could be used for a variety of purposes including food warming and display, a unique charcuterie board, for floral display and so on. I have seen copper versions that comprised a cooker/warmer , two spirit burners with snuffer caps and a cast iron...
