Victorian Silver Vinaigrette Birmingham 1878

Victorian Silver Vinaigrette Birmingham 1878This is a decorative Victorian silver vinaigrette with an engine turned decorative top. The top decoration centres around a cartouche which is unengraved. The back also bears the same engraved decoration. The sides and ends have an engraved pattern to each as well which is a nice touch as the sides of these Vinaigrettes are usually plain or a continuation of the top pattern. The inside opens to reveal a highly decorative grille and a gilded interior.

The mirror is also good with no signs of foxing

A great addition to your table or an unusual and unique gift for anyone

It is a lovely collectable piece of Edwardian silver

The blade closes as shown in the pictures which isn't quite fully but it opens fine

Fully hallmarked silver stopper with good quality cork and with the addition of a cast silver Pheasant on the top
