Victorian Pierced Sterling Fruit or Sugar Sifter by George Angell, London, 1871

About the Item

Victorian Pierced Sterling Fruit or Sugar Sifter, George Angell, London, 1871 A masterfully crafted Victorian sterling silver sifter spoon, richly decorated with cast grapevines, tendrils, and leaves along the handle, terminating in an elaborately pierced bowl. Hallmarked for London, 1871, by renowned silversmith George Angell, this spoon reflects the naturalistic exuberance of the Aesthetic and Late Victorian periods. Angell’s work is especially prized for its bold naturalistic designs and technical finesse, both on full display here. The casting is deep and crisply detailed, the piercing precise, and the overall workmanship consistent with the highest standards of mid-19th-century English silver. This piece would have been used for sifting powdered sugar or serving fine berries and fruits—luxury items in Victorian households—making it both a practical and ceremonial object. A superb addition to a silver collection or an elegant gift for a collector of English decorative arts. Condition: Excellent antique condition with only minor signs of use. No repairs or monograms.
