Novelty Edwardian Solid Silver Salt Cart

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: The Silver Cabinet

This is a lovely, tactile piece of Edwardian whimsy - a solid sterling silver cockerel pulling a salt cart made from a delicate shell.
 
It is hallmarked on the side for Chester 1909, with the maker''s mark of Robert Pringle & Sons and is in full working order, in as much as the wheels go round! The cockerel is solidly fixed to the harness. There is a very small dip on the edge of the shell rim, which may have been an original feature or may have been later damage. Amazing that it has survived all this time.
