About the Item
We are delighted to have acquired and offer this magnificent set of six salt cellars made by S & C Younge & Co in Sheffield, 1814/16 (4 and 2 identical from two years later).
The set presents a spectacular Regency design, drawing inspiration from ancient civilisations and archaeological discoveries such as Egypt, featuring four winged lion-paw feet supporting the top section.
The bowls are exceptionally ornate and well decorated with a curved gadroon border accented with anthemion motifs. What cannot be accurately conveyed through photos is their weight and gauge of silver - it is made from an exceptionally thick and heavy gauge of silver and weighs 880 grams total.
As further testament to its quality and craftsmanship, the bowls are not simply circular/rectangular but feature a unique cartouche-like design which not only elevates their splendour but also displays how much time and effort would have gone into shaping each piece, whereas in a more normal set, a common or simple design would have sufficed and have been employed.
Delightful as it already is to find a set of 6 intact throughout the ages, additionally, these salts have remained in great order and their original gilding remains with a beautiful antique yellow/lemon gold gilt tone. The gilding not only provides a lovely contrast to the silver tone but also serves a practical purpose in protecting the silver from reacting with the salt that would be placed within.
Owing to their practical form and being a set of six, these salts not only offer a wonderful aesthetic in an interior setting but could be used practically in the modern day with some creative uses. Whether it be for plenty of salt at a dinner party or as a rotating sauce/condiment selection for the dinner table, we believe such pieces present a versatile offering in addition to their splendour. Some further creative ideas may include: single sorbet servings, caviar dish, jewellery storage, small confectionary servings.
Overall, a splendid set of salts ideal to elevate any interior dining setting or for discerning collectors who wish to add a distinguished set to their display.
A full set of English hallmarks is present on the bottom of each bowl.
