AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A pair of Hukin & Heath (Birmingham) silver-plated toast racks representing two distinct design erasItem
1. Late Victorian Leaf-Form Toast Rack. Maker's Marks: stamped H&H with the flying eagle trademark. Stamped with factory pattern code 6456 and British Design Registration number RD No 98958 (design registered in April 1888). The upper central carrying handle and its decorative leaf emblem are missing. The reference photo with the red border illustrates a similar, complete version of this item for comparison. Additionally, two of the three small nuts holding the components together at the base are missing; however, this does not affect the object's structural stability.
9 x 16 x 11 cm, 220 g.
2. Geometric Art Deco Style Toast Rack. Maker's Marks: stamped H&H with the flying eagle trademark on the outer rim. No pattern or registration numbers present. Design: bold, structural, and striking Art Deco aesthetic. This functionalism directly mirrors the pioneering early radical-minimalist designs created by Dr. Christopher Dresser for the firm. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The silver plating shows a strong luster with clear stamped hallmarks and no structural damage. 1930s
8 x 9 x 6 cm, 90 g.
Will be properly packaged and shipped with Track & Trace.
