This early 20th-century bottle holder by Brook & Son of Edinburgh stands as an Edwardian silver-plated table accessory in a handsome basket form. The cylindrical body displays a decorative pierced fretwork gallery in an intricate lattice pattern, complemented by reeded rim mouldings at the top and a smooth flared base at the foot. A tall upright twin handle arches above the container, secured by curved metal fixings at the sides. The exterior shows a bright silver colour with subtle signs of age-related surface wear, alongside an underside stamp marking the maker and pattern number. Measuring 38 cm in height including the handle, with a basket diameter of 10.5 cm and a basket height of 11.5 cm, the piece sits well upon a dining room sideboard or inside a drinks cabinet. It functions practically for serving wine at the table or purely as a decorative display object in a gentleman's library or formal entertaining space.

An antique silver-plated bottle holder is a tabletop dining accessory designed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to hold wine bottles or soda syphons, protecting wooden surfaces from condensation while facilitating table service.

These holders were typically crafted from nickel silver or brass electroplated with a layer of pure silver, incorporating pierced lattice fretwork, reeded borders, and soldered handle structures.

Authentic items feature stamped makers marks, such as Brook & Son Edinburgh, along with standard electroplate designations like EPNS, alongside precise metalwork and finished rims.

An antique bottle holder can be styled on a bar cart, sideboard, or dining table to display wine bottles, or repurposed as a decorative container for stationery or kitchen accessories.

Maintain the finish by wiping gently with a soft cotton cloth and using non-abrasive silver polish, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals that can wear down the electroplated layer.
