Name: Georgian Coquilla Nutmeg Grater
Brand: Antique
SKU: SA1036695
Availability: SoldOut

18th century

Sold by William Rand Antiques

Description

A good 19th century coquilla nutmeg grater in the form of an acorn; a beautiful example, with pierced metal grater in a threaded bone liner, the body decorated with incised lines, the acorn's lid with cross-hatching.

A fine example of good colour; the liner to the grater is partially detached from grater but when aligned to the other piece and threaded into the holder remains firm and in situ. This could easily be glued but we would prefer to leave as an honest piece.

A very similar if not identical example was sold at Bonhams of Chester in The Oak Sale of 2011 for £450 including premium.

See Edward H. Pinto, Treen & Other Wooden Bygones, Edward H. Pinto (1985), fig 181, for identical examples.
