Antique Victorian Solid Silver Naturalistic Cutlery Rests/Holders - 19th c.
About the Item
We are delighted to offer this rare and exquisite pair of antique solid silver cutlery rests/holders made in the Victorian era with maker's mark for J.R&S (possibly for James Rettie & Son).
The pair is crafted in the most wonderful naturalistic syle with a lifelike cast-silver design of tree trunks or possibly coral and its intricacy is magnificent indeed.
In spite of its age, it has been kept in very good order with exceptional details and crisp decorations remaining. The cast branches have been meticulously cast and then stippled to present a realistic effect.
Furthermore, practicality has been carefully considered within its scope of aesthetics and design so that they both sit flat on a table and provide two branch stems which allows for the knife and fork to rest on.
Overall a wonderful collectable and unique piece of Scottish Victorian silverware, perfect for displays or as a practical dining accoutrement in a wonderful interior setting. Ideal for lovers of unusual and novel silver items and for those looking to add a naturalistic/marine theme to their collection.
The pair are hallmarked with matching marks, with a maker's mark, Victorian queen's head and the Edinburgh town mark, however no date letter.

View AllAntique Victorian Solid Silver Gilt Naturalistic Leaf Spoon Pair, 1842
By Sebastian Crespel II
Located in London, GB
We are delighted to offer this fine and exquisite pair of early Victorian solid silver tea spoons made in London 1842 with the maker's mark of Sebastian Crespell.
The pair features a highly ornate and desirable 'naturalistic' design with the entirety of the spoon-shaped as a leaf and branch.
Intricate engravings on the leaf bowls and the realistic form of the stem/branch indicate a high level of craftsmanship and artistry by the silversmith. Upon close inspection, the asymmetric and naturally flowing design is further apparent and is a delightful touch.
Not only are these spoons practical for a wide variety of uses from tea to desserts, but are a modest yet discerning addition to any collection or interior decor for a sophisticated and nature-inspired look.
The pair is gilded with a yellowish/lemon hue that has been worn and patinated in a very attractive colour/tone.
A full set of English hallmarks are present on the reverse side of the bowl.
