Pair of Antique Horn Drinking Vessels with Silvered Figural State Drinking Glass

Located in Wembley, GB

A Pair of Antique Horn Drinking Vessels with Silvered Figural Stands, 19th Century This striking pair of sculptural horn vessels exemplifies the dramatic elegance of 19th-century European decorative arts, combining natural materials with finely modelled metalwork. Each vessel is formed from a polished natural horn, gracefully curved and mounted with silvered metal mounts, including pierced collars and tapered finials that accentuate the organic silhouette of the horn. The horns are supported by cast silvered figural bases, each depicting a standing male figure in period dress, posed dynamically as if presenting the vessel above. The figures rest on stepped circular bases, lending architectural stability and theatrical presence to the composition. The interplay between the warm, variegated tones of the horn and the cool brilliance of the silvered metal creates a visually compelling contrast, both tactile and sculptural. Historically inspired by ceremonial drinking horns associated with aristocratic, guild, and courtly traditions, this pair functions today as luxury decorative objects rather than utilitarian vessels. They are ideal as statement centrepieces, cabinet highlights, or collector’s objects, appealing to interiors that celebrate historicism, masculinity, and craftsmanship. Whether placed symmetrically on a console, flanking a mantelpiece, or displayed in a curated interior vignette, these horn vessels project authority, heritage, and refined eccentricity. Details Type: Pair of decorative horn vessels / drinking horns Date: 19th century Materials: Natural horn, silver mounts Decoration: Figural silvered stands, pierced collars Condition: Good antique condition with age-appropriate wear Presentation: A matched and visually balanced pair Diameter approx. 14 cm, height approx. 51.5 cm A remarkable collection of antique drinking horns...

Vintage, New and Antique Sterling Silver

Dining and entertaining changed drastically when we began to set our tables with sterling silver for holiday gatherings, wedding receptions, engagement parties and, in some of today’s homes, everyday meals.

Often called the “Queen of metals,” silver has been universally adored for thousands of years. It is easy to see why it has always been sought after: It is durable, strong and beautiful. (Louis XIV had tables made entirely of silver.) Sterling silver is an alloy that is made of 92.5 percent silver — the “925” stamp that identifies sterling-silver jewelry refers to this number. The other 7.5 percent in sterling silver is typically sourced from copper.

Neoclassical-style sterling-silver goods in Europe gained popularity in the late 18th century — a taste for sterling-silver tableware as well as tea sets had taken shape — while in the United States, beginning in the 19th century, preparing the dinner table with sterling-silver flatware had become somewhat of a standard practice. Indeed, owning lots of silver goods during the Victorian era was a big deal. Back then, displaying fine silver at home was a status symbol for middle-class American families. And this domestic silver craze meant great profitability for legendary silversmith manufacturers such as Reed & Barton, Gorham Manufacturing Company and the International Silver Company, which was incorporated in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1898, a major hub of silver manufacturing nicknamed “Silver City.”

Today, special occasions might call for ceremonial silver designed by Tiffany & Co. or the seductive sterling-silver cutlery from remarkable Danish silversmith Georg Jensen, but there really doesn’t have to be an event on the calendar to trot out your finest tableware.

Event- and wedding-planning company maestro Tara Guérard says that some “investment pieces,” such as this widely enamored alloy, should see everyday use, and we’re inclined to agree.

“Sterling-silver flatware is a must-have that you can use every single day, even to eat cereal,” she says. “Personally, I want a sterling-silver goblet set for 12 to 20; I would use them every time I had a dinner party. Ultimately, there are no criteria for buying vintage pieces: Buy what you love, and make it work.”

Whether you’re thinking “ceremonial” or “cereal,” browse a versatile collection of vintage, new and antique sterling-silver wares on 1stDibs today.
