Beautiful silver caster of cylindrical form, featuring a rich rocaille decoration composed of scrolls, floral garlands, and foliate motifs. Made in England in 1896
Inspired by the decorative vocabulary of the 18th century, this fine piece of English silverware will bring refinement and opulence to your table.
The pierced lid and the body bear the following hallmarks: a lion passant (sterling silver standard), the leopard’s head (London assay mark), the date letter “A” for 1896, as well as the initials “GMJ” for the silversmith Josiah Williams & Co – George Maudsley Jackson.
Overall very good condition, one slight dent to the lid.
