Description

An absolutely charming and highly unusual art deco period silver plated toast rack in the form of an owl and moons.

The owl finial functions as a handle and is perched upon the central crescent moon. Six crescent moons divide the rack and sit upon a large crescent moon with engraved facial details. The whole is raised upon three bun feet. Stamped 'Pridham & Sons, Torquay' with associated serial and registration numbers to the base.

There is a small amount of wear commensurate with age but generally the piece remains in a very good condition throughout.

A really lovely thing.

FAQs

Silver plate should be cleaned periodically with a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and stored in a low-humidity environment to prevent tarnishing.

Such decorative silver pieces can be displayed on a sideboard, used as a distinctive desk organiser for letters, or styled on an open kitchen shelf.

Authentic pieces often feature makers marks, hallmarks for electroplate quality, and appropriate signs of age such as gentle surface wear and natural oxidisation.

These items were typically produced by electroplating a base metal, such as nickel silver or Britannia metal, with a thin layer of sterling silver.

Novelty toast racks became popular during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, reflecting a taste for whimsical, highly specific tableware at the breakfast table.
