AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Impressive antique British silver-plated coffee pot, made in Sheffield, England, during the first half of the 20th century.
The piece features a striking architectural silhouette: a generously rounded lower body rises into an elegant waisted neck, while the exceptionally long, sweeping spout gives the design a dramatic sculptural quality. The angular black heat-resistant handle and matching lid finial create a beautiful contrast with the highly reflective silver surface, emphasizing its refined Art Deco character.
Marked on the base: EPNS Made in Sheffield denotes electroplated nickel silver.
The coffee pot is in good antique condition and retains a beautiful, brilliant shine. Fine surface scratches, polishing marks and minor traces of oxidation are present, consistent with age and previous use. Please consider the photographs an integral part of the description.
A distinctive and decorative example of Sheffield silver plate equally elegant as a functional serving piece or as a statement object in a sophisticated interior.
