Description from the seller
Nutcracker silver
Portugal assay mark (1887-1937), 833/000, and same date marker's mark
Antique nutcracker, featuring silver handles only, finely decorated with elegant engraved and relief motifs. The articulated jaws are made of metal, contrasting with the refined silver handles and providing both strength and functionality.
The handles display classical ornamental detailing, reflecting skilled silversmithing and a balanced, comfortable grip. Pieces of this type were traditionally used at the table or sideboard and are today appreciated as decorative and collectible silver-mounted objects.
Condition: Good overall condition, with surface wear and patina consistent with age and use.
Materials: Silver (handles only), metal (jaws and mechanism).
A refined and practical example of antique tableware, suitable for collectors of silver objects or period dining accessories.
