$175.00
Found at market in the north of England, we are thrilled by the many fine qualities of these handsome Antique Silverplate Creamer and Sugar Bowl Sets. Showcasing clean lines in three distinct styles, each promises to grace your home with classic elegance and gleaming panache.
Set A: Hand-engraved by an exceptionally talented artist, the finely-detailed sugar bowl and creamer are a lovely reminder of the Victorian fascination with animal and botanical motifs in the exciting 19th-century era spawned by Charles Darwin and America's burgeoning Hudson River School art movement. A bold geometric design encircling the pedestal base of each piece contrasts the nature scene above, while handles realistically depicted as tree branches and songbirds that seem poised to take flight at any moment are cleverly integrated into an expertly executed design.
Set B: Dating to 1910 and produced by the fine silversmiths at Walker & Hall, the graceful lines and striking silhouette of this handsome set are eternally contemporary. Engraved with a sweet wreath and ribbon design and elevated by darling bun feet, this classic sugar and creamer set gleams ever so brightly with softly undulating bands encircling the upper rims. Georgian-revival handles made especially fashionable during the late Edwardian era bring a stately presence to this lovely set.
Set C: Delicate and subtle beading, accented by petite shells and flowing waves, adorns the exposed upper rim of this sumptuous sugar and creamer set. Produced by the esteemed Atkin Brothers of Sheffield, England in shining silverplate for Harrods of London with charming sculpted handles, reminiscent of a romantic loving cup. Erected upon oval bun feet that appear to emerge from below the generous belly of the bowls, this luxurious sugar and creamer set is a delightful way to infuse your home or tea table with the elegant civility of London's iconic department store.
When not employed at the breakfast table, coffee bar or kitchen counter, each of these enchanting vessels is sure to charm as an impromptu vessel for newly cut blooms, a sentimental posy or a handful of fresh wildflowers.
