Antique English Silverplate Bottle Stand

From the markets of northern England comes this exquisite Antique Silverplate Bottle Stand, an elevated addition to your bar or table service collection. Bottle presentation stands like this one became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries when dining tables were dressed with care and decanters or soda syphons were often brought to table in silver holders. Designed to protect fine linens from drips and condensation while adding a refined visual flourish, they combined utility with elegance in a fashion that continues to charm discriminating collectors today.

With its pierced fretwork, articulated rim and columned base with diminutive claw feet topped by exquisite fleur de lis, this sculpturesque stand defines the sublime maxim of form meets function. Whether pouring a celebratory grand cru, a favorite vintage or presenting sparkling water at dinner, this magnificent silver masterpiece is sure to bring a sense of ceremony to every sip.

Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. In very good antique condition.  9.25"H x 7"W.
