Item description
Absolute showpiece for collectors: antique, barrel-shaped coffee samovar / Coffee urn with magnificent original patina
For sale is a museum rarity for connoisseurs of historic gastronomy and silver objects: An antique, barrel-shaped coffee machine (samovar) in the classic Empire / Historicism style, presumably originating from England. I acquired this exceptional piece from a well-kept collection.
Special highlights & details
• Extraordinary form: The coffee vessel is shaped like an elegant barrel and rests on a gracefully curved frame.
• Magnificent ornamentation: The side handles are crafted as sculpted, majestic lion heads with rings in their mouths.
• Noble base: The frame stands on detailed animal paws (talons), standing on small balls.
• Absolutely complete: The set is complete! The original spout with light-colored handle as well as the accompanying spirit burner (rechaud) for keeping warm are present.
• Honest collector’s condition: The object was deliberately not polished to a high shine. It bears a beautiful, deep, decades-old dark silver patina, through which the silver shimmers mystically and iridescently in the light. A dream for connoisseurs who appreciate the untouched antique character!
Condition, dimensions & shipping
The showpiece is in an age-appropriate, excellent, unrestored collector’s condition (see detailed photos). No obvious maker’s marks are visible, which is typical for high-quality early English pieces (such as Old Sheffield Plate) or due to the thick patina.
(Note: The book depicted in the photos is for decoration only and not part of the auction).
