With a set of three original antique English crystal decanters nestled within an exquisite silverplate stand, we are confident this recent arrival will make an elegant addition to your dining or barware collection. Dating to the late 1860s and discovered at market outside London, we were taken in an instant by its stunning presence and grand stature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith weighty, color-accented stoppers and gorgeous fingertip facets that encircle the necks, bringing brilliant reflection to the rich hues, each sculptural decanter is designed to hold prized spirits in majestic style. Cast in intense hues of rose pink, emerald green and cobalt blue, each individual bottle is cleverly shaped to create subtle friction on the smooth neck for a steadier grip. On the underside, a cut glass sunburst pattern helps to bring additional light and sparkle, presenting the precious contents to best advantage. Originally designed to serve post-dining refreshments at the table, such as whiskey or Scotch, brandy and gin or conversely, a selection of after-dinner wines like Port, claret and Madeira, the lovely frame with its delicate design appears to dance suspended above the table.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGracefully curving feet point outward from the lacy silverwork of the base, which surrounds a dramatic central rod rising from among the shimmering decanters. Capped by a prominent decorative finial handle anchored by a lavish acanthus leaf, the lower portion of the trefoil-shaped base is clad in sophisticated pierced silverwork that gracefully undulates around each decanter. Articulation reminiscent of handwoven canework and handsome medallions bring additional sophistication to the fine silver wrought by expert makers at esteemed Sheffield firm Henry Wilkinson \u0026amp; Co. Entering its first mark in the Sheffield Assay Office in 1831 and expanding to London in 1857, the firm remained in business through 1892 when it was acquired by powerhouse Walker \u0026amp; Hall. A truly soignée presentation for favorite cognacs, whiskeys or wines, this stately yet practical work of art promises to elevate every occasion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale.
