London 1870 Victorian Superb Solid Silver Gilt Presentation Afternoon Tea Equipage Service by Very Famous Maker Henry Holland.

19th century
Description

London 1870 English hallmarked cast solid silver gilt most unusual afternoon tea equipage service by very famous spoon maker Henry Holland, comprising three pieces in the original fitted case.

The three pieces comprise a sugar spoon, a caddy spoon, and a matching pair of sugar tongs.

With original gilding, the very elegant cast and pierced and twisted stems are designed with an apostle figure to top and what appears to be a female figure surrounded by piercing to bottom of stem. There is a fine feathered rat tail to the ovoid bowls.

Very clear hallmarks.

The pieces are contained in the original blue lined velvet case.

Weight-75 grams silver, or 180 grams with case.

Sizes-sugar or long caddy spoon 4.75 inches long by 1.4 inches wide; shorter caddy spoon 4 inches long by 1.25 inches wide; sugar nips 4.75 inches long.

A rare set in excellent condition, having had little use in its 140 year lifetime, and still unusually contained in the original fitted case. A lovely gift or a beautiful and functional set for a collector.

Declaration

Serpentine Antiques has dated this piece to the 1870s.
