Description

This is a Victorian hallmarked sterling silver and glass decanter. The silver was assayed in London in 1893. It was made by William Comyns & Sons.

The decanter is of hourglass form with wrythen glass. The silver has Neo-Rococo swirling repoussage decoration.

Unfortunately the decanter has a crack in the neck which goes down through the shoulder. I have included photographs. Also one corner of the silver has a piece missing. Otherwise it is in good order.

It weighs 878g.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
