A beautiful late Victorian boxed set featuring two matching navette sterling silver salts with original spoons, finely crafted in a Neoclassical style. Fully hallmarked for Henry Williamson, Birmingham, 1900. The salts are boat-shaped with a reeded design, large loop handles, and gold-washed interiors. The coordinating spoons are decorated with fluted shell bowls and ball finials. The set is housed in the original fitted presentation case, covered in dark brown leather with a gold embossed border, and lined with emerald green velvet and silk. An excellent example of Edwardian silver craftsmanship, ideal for collectors or for stylish dining settings.
Salts: Height to rim 2.5 cm / 1.0″, height to handles 3.8 cm / 1.5″, body 3.5 × 6 cm / 1.4″ × 2.4″, handle to handle 9 cm / 3.5″
Spoons: Length 5.5 cm / 2.2″
Box: 11.5 × 14 × 4.5 cm / 4.5″ × 5.5″ × 1.8″
Silver weight: 30.79 g
Total weight including box: 170 g
Very good antique condition overall. Crisp reeded decoration and strong interior gilding. Minor marks to the interior of the salts, a very shallow depression to the side of one salt, and slight unevenness to the spoon handles. The fitted case remains structurally sound with light wear appropriate for age. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
