About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive, and rare pair of antique Victorian English sterling silver seal peppers; an addition to our 19th century novelty silver cruets/condiments collection. These exceptional and rare antique Victorian English sterling silver peppers have been modelled in the form of seals. The surface of each piece is embellished with engraved decoration, replicating the texture of the seal's skin and anatomical features. Each of the silver seals retains the original, hallmarked push fit cover/head ornamented to the upper portion with pierced 'pepper' holes. The cover of these sterling silver seal pepper shakers are further ornamented with the original eyes. This exceptional Victorian silver set is fitted to the original hinged leatherette box with satin and velvet lined interior, and secures with a push fit catch. Such exceptional examples in this fine condition and presented in their original box are rare to the market. Condition These antique Victorian novelty sterling silver peppers are a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The original presentation box is in excellent condition in keeping with age. Full hallmarks to the surface of each seal and part hallmarks to each sleeve are very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the superior gauge of silver. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these novelty silver peppers.
