Description

Circa 1875 an unusual large and heavy 7 bar silver plate toast or letter rack, by famous makers, Hukin and Heath. The famous Victorian visionary designer, Dr. Christopher Dresser, was the head designer for this company.

The rack is designed with angled dividers, graduated in height, reinforced to a central bottom bar, and standing on a canted corner base, beautifully engraved with a bright cut design. It is surmounted with a shapely handle, and stands on ball feet, marked to reverse with the maker's mark and the number 1912, likely a pattern or style mark.

Size-6.75 inches long by 4 inches wide by 5 inches high to top of handle.

Weight-240 grams.

In very good condition, this makes a very functional yet impressive and stylish rack to hold letters, papers or bills, and would make a wonderful desk accessory. Additionally, it can also be used at the table.

A lovely piece.

Declaration
