It was listed by The Silver Cabinet. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
The Silver Cabinet has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
The oval stand has a beaded edge and beautiful mahogany base. The handle is elegant and the stand is raised on four scroll feet.
There are eight silver-mounted bottles with faceted bodies. The bottles are all matching and look to be original.
There are small chips to two of the glass stoppers (hardly surprising, given the age of the glass) and damage to top of one glass bottle, which has been rectified at some point by securing the lid to the glass, as highlighted in pictures 8 & 9. This is the reason for the reduced asking price.
A wonderful piece of history.
