Antique English Silver Plated Strawberry Set by Daniel Arter, C.1895

19th century
For Sale by Puckerings
Description

A late Victorian Strawberry set, the two shell shaped dishes would be piled high with summer Strawberries and served with caster sugar in the bowl and fresh cream in the jug or creamer.

When English Strawberries are out of season, I use these to serve cakes, biscuits, cookies and chocolates with the milk or cream in the jug and sugar for the tea or coffee, a really usable and stunning table top serving piece for any occasion.

The bases of the sugar and creamer are made to fit into the rings either side of the handle, and their interior's, gilded. The stand sits on four handsome ball feet.

All three pieces are signed by the Birmingham silversmith, Daniel & Arter, dating them to the late Victorian era.

Excellent condition, measuring 14 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 7 3/4" tall to top of handle.

The dishes serve summer strawberries, cakes, biscuits, cookies, or chocolates, accompanied by caster sugar and fresh cream in the fitted pots for tea, coffee, or dessert courses.

FAQs

A Victorian strawberry set is a specialised serving piece designed to hold fresh strawberries alongside accompanying cream and sugar in coordinated bowls or pots.

Late Victorian silver-plated tableware typically comprised electroplated nickel silver, often featuring gilt-lined bowl interiors to prevent acidic fruits and cream from tarnishing the metal.

Authentic pieces often feature makers marks or initials stamped into the base, clear signs of wear to high points showing the base metal, and period-appropriate joinery or hand-chased ornamentation.

Place the set as a central accent on a dining table, sideboard top, or kitchen island, using it as a decorative vessel for berries, condiments, or small display items.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and mild soap solution, avoiding abrasive silver polish on gold-washed interiors to preserve the delicate gilded coating.
