Unusual Antique Georgian Silver Toast Rack

18th century
Description

A highly unusual Georgian solid sterling silver toast rack by the renowned Robert Hennell I.

The base carries the hallmarks for London 1789 and all separate pieces carry associated hallmarks except the two pins that hold the entire structure together.

An elegant boat shaped base with a crest. The horizontal racks fit neatly into their allotted spaces - some are slightly bent, probably as a result of being removed on a regular basis. It's a lot easier to clean than some others!

Dimensions:

Length: 19cm

Width: 10cm

Height: 14cm

Weight: 263g

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

FAQs

Toast racks were introduced in the mid-18th century to prevent toasted bread from becoming damp by allowing steam to escape between slices. During the Georgian period, silversmiths created these functional dining accessories with wirework dividers and raised bases.

Georgian toast racks were primarily constructed from sterling silver or fused Sheffield plate, featuring hand-formed wire arches, soldered joints, and raised bases with cast feet to protect table surfaces.

Authentic Georgian silver pieces feature official British hallmarks stamped onto the base frame or handle, including a makers mark, town mark, date letter, and sovereign head duty mark.

While originally intended for breakfast service on a dining table or sideboard, antique toast racks are frequently repurposed in modern homes as desktop stationery organisers or display holders for letters and cards.

Clean silver toast racks using a soft cloth and a specialized silver polish designed to remove tarnish without wearing down detailed hallmarks or metal plating. Avoid harsh chemical baths and dishwasher cleaning.
