A very handsome English port or wine decanter made from bell metal, steel and iron, supported on a mahogany base in the shape of a shield.
The bottle pourer has a central handmade steel screw, powered by a lovely bone handle. The frame itself is made from bell metal, which gives it a lovely light gold color, as opposed to brass. The cradle is also hand made, as things all were before the Industrial Revolution. The piece is supported on a shield shaped mahogany base, and is raised on hand turned feet.
