19th century
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

An exceptional, fine and impressive antique Victorian English sterling silver wine cooler; an addition to our antique wine and drink related silverware collection.

This exceptional antique Victorian wine cooler in sterling silver has a circular campania shaped form onto a circular spreading pedestal foot.

The surface of the cooler is plain and unembellished, with a cast and applied gadroon decorated border to the upper flared rim.

This antique silver wine cooler is fitted with an exceptional pair of cast silver handles ornamented with naturalistic textures, leaf decorated terminals and an organic collar to the centre of each handpiece.

This impressive sterling silver wine cooler is supported by a circular knopped pedestal foot.

This exceptional Victorian wine cooler retains the original detachable Sheffield plate liner and hallmarked sterling silver push fit cover.

The sterling silver torus-shaped cover is plain and unembellished.

Such examples are often fitted with Sheffield plated liners to assist with durability, in addition to the thermal conductivity levels of this material being more effective at maintaining cool temperatures.

A Victorian wine cooler is a grand and opulent gift, ideal for weddings, milestone anniversaries, retirements or stately housewarmings. Suited to collectors, wine connoisseurs and hosts who value ceremonial elegance and historic craftsmanship.

Condition

This antique silver wine cooler is a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional presentation condition.

The cast decoration is very sharp.

FAQs

A Victorian sterling silver wine cooler is a nineteenth-century table vessel engineered to hold ice and maintain bottled wine or champagne at a chilled temperature during dining.

These vessels were crafted from sterling silver using traditional silversmithing techniques, combining raised metal bodies with cast handles and soldered gadrooned borders.

Authentic British sterling silver features full hallmark stamps, including the lion passant symbol for silver purity, a town mark, a date letter, and a maker mark.

A silver wine cooler can be displayed on a sideboard, utilised as a table centrepiece for fresh flowers, or positioned on a bar cart as functional barware.

Maintain sterling silver by wiping it with a soft cotton cloth and applying dedicated silver polish periodically, avoiding abrasive compounds that scratch the surface.
