About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive, composite antique Victorian English sterling silver four-piece tea and coffee service/set; part of our silver teaware collection. This exceptional antique Victorian four-piece sterling silver tea and coffee service consists of a coffee pot, teapot, sugar bowl and cream jug. Each piece has a pear shaped form onto a circular spreading foot. The pieces of this Victorian tea and coffee set are embellished with embossed panels in a swirl design, accented with bright cut engraved segmented quatrefoil leaf motifs on a textured background. One side of each piece incorporates a circular cartouche displaying the engraved initial 'B'. The upper rims are encompassed with plain applied moulded borders. The teapot and coffee pot are fitted with domed hinged hallmarked covers reflecting the identical decoration as that to the body. Each cover retains the original hallmarked cast sterling silver finial embellished with scrolling leaf ornamentation. The components of this antique silver tea set are fitted with impressive hallmarked, cast sterling silver S-shaped handles featuring leaf decorated thumbpieces, in addition to interlacing designs to the lower portion of the handpiece. The cast upper sockets of each handle are ornamented with organic leaf designs in junction with the body.
