About the Item
This magnificent Victorian sterling silver kettle, hallmarked in London in 1871, is a superb example of 19th-century British silversmithing at its most refined. Crafted by the highly regarded silversmith Robert Hennell IV, this kettle features a richly ornamented body adorned with finely cast and applied floral and scroll decoration. The bold baluster form sits gracefully atop a fitted stand with a coordinating burner, all supported by beautifully cast scroll legs terminating in claw-and-ball feet.
The shaped handle is mounted with intricately designed hinge supports and a comfortable heat-resistant insert, allowing for elegant and practical serving. Its pristine silver surface is complemented by exceptional craftsmanship and a strong, stately presence—making it an ideal centrepiece for an antique tea service or a decorative focal point in any traditional or eclectic interior.
Whether you're a seasoned collector, an interior designer sourcing heritage silver, or someone seeking a luxurious heirloom piece, this Victorian kettle combines functionality, provenance, and enduring style.
Fully hallmarked for London, 1871, with maker’s mark for Robert Hennell IV.
Ideal for both display and occasional use.
The kettle measures 13.5"(34.5cm) tall, by 8.25"(21cm) from handle to spout, by 6.25"(16cm) deep, and weighs 41.2 troy ounces.
