Description from the seller
Elegant antique dining service for oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper, composed of a refined structure in silvered metal and four coordinating containers in glass or frosted crystal.
The stand features rich Rococo-style ornamentation, with shaped rim, vegetal motifs and scrolls, four pierced feet, and a tall finely worked central handle. The side supports are decorated with stylized zoomorphic figures, giving the whole a particularly scenographic character.
The service includes:
- two bottles with faceted crystal stoppers;
- two bottles with caps in silvered metal, one of which is pierced;
- original four‑compartment stand with central handle.
The bottles are embellished with a geometrically faceted decoration with diamond, star, and ray motifs.
On the base there is a shield-shaped mark with an anchor and the initials F.B. The manufacture has not been identified with absolute certainty. The item is plausibly English in origin and can be dated to the early decades of the 20th century.
The surface retains a beautiful antique patina, with oxidation, small scratches, abrasions, and wear to the silvering in keeping with age and use. The containers show normal signs of time and slight opacity or interior residues. It is recommended to study all photographs carefully, which are an integral part of the description.
A decorative and refined service, ideal for an elegant table, an antique sideboard, or a collection of silvered metal objects.
Overall dimensions: maximum height 30 cm, maximum width 22 cm.
Bottle height: 17 cm.
Careful packing and tracked national and international shipping via express courier.
