Rare Victorian silver toast rack in the form of vine leaves

This is a superb rare and stunning large and heavy Victorian 6 division silver toast rack fashioned in the form of a vine branch and vine leaves. The rack consists of a central vine branch with cast vine leaves rising up to form the divisions and spreading left and right to form the supports. The branch curls at one end to form the handle, and the whole rack is supported on four ball feet. The leaves are beautifully shaped to curl over one another and beautifully detailed with veins. A very rare and remarkable toast rack. Condition: Very good. There are no dents or splits, but there is a small repair to the underside of the very front leaf, and a very slight sign of the repair on top of this leaf. The repair under the leaf, of course can’t be seen in use, and the repair mark to the top hardly noticeable. I don’t think this hugely impacts this wonderful Victorian piece.
