Hello my name is Andrew Campbell, welcome to AC Silver.
This fine and impressive antique Victorian English sterling silver three piece tea service
is quite an exceptional example.
It has a circular classical form onto a bead decorated knop to a chased stylised leaf encircled
circular spreading foot.
The rim of the teapot, cream jug and sugar bowl are embellished with a bead decorated
border.
The cream and sugar retain the original gilt interior.
The body of each piece is further ornamented with fine and impressive bright cut engraved
floral festoons, accented with floral motifs and four applied chased masks.
The decoration incorporates vacant cartouche to either side of each piece.
The teapot has a fine and impressive swan neck spout ornamented with chased scrolling
leaf decoration with chased leaf decorated around the socket.
Full hallmarks are struck to the surface of each piece, part hallmarks to the teapot cover
and finial, all are very clear.
All the decoration is very crisp and sharp.
The original hallmarked hinged cover retains the original and impressive sterling silver
and hallmarked leaf and pine cone finial.
The highlighted features of this exceptional three piece tea service make it one that could
be sold with my highest recommendations.
If you require any further information or assistance regarding this exceptional service
please do not hesitate to contact us via telephone or email.
