Description

A Really Gorgeous Antique Silver Plated Spoon Warmer made in the form of a nautilus shell on an ornate coral-style stand. The shell body is engraved with flowing, wave-like lines that accentuate the spiral form and add a lively surface pattern. A curled side element acts as a stylised handle made of coral, completing the marine-inspired silhouette.

The purpose of the piece is to keep serving spoons warm at the table, helping sauces and gravies stay fluid during service. A hinged lid is fitted to the top section, allowing the warmed interior space to be accessed neatly during use – circa 1860.

* A spoon warmer is one of those refined table accessories that speaks quietly of formal dining and careful service.
