Large pair of very fine quality Edwardian silver gilt sauce boats with unusual integrated stands. Georgian style with gadrooned rims with scallop shell and acanthus leaf mouldings and flying C scroll handles with acanthus leaf thumb rests. Set on nicely shaped legs with scallop shell feet and terminals. The stands have matching gadrooned detail and scallop shell feet. An attractive crest to one side of each boat and the rear of the stands is engraved with a rampant lion surrounded by flowers and the phrase "Facta Non Verba" (Facts not words) in a scroll at the bottom.
