Description

An elegant pair of antique Dutch silver glass holders, featuring elaborate pierced openwork decoration with scrolling foliage, floral motifs and richly ornamented oval cartouches. Each holder has a circular foot with a decorative raised border and an upright handle terminating in a rounded finial.

The intricate, lace-like silverwork and detailed relief decoration give the pair a distinctly traditional European appearance. The open cylindrical form is consistent with holders intended to accommodate separate drinking glasses, combining practical use with decorative silver craftsmanship.

The matching pair displays a naturally aged patina that highlights the depth of the pierced decoration and the intricate ornamental details. These pieces would make an attractive addition to a collection of antique Dutch silver or traditional tableware.

Hallmarks and origin

The pieces bear a Dutch lion passant facing right, with the numeral 2 beneath the lion. This is consistent with the Dutch second-grade silver standard, traditionally corresponding to 833/1000 silver.

The hallmark supports a Dutch attribution. The exact maker and date of manufacture have not been established from the available marks.

Condition

Antique condition, with tarnishing, oxidation and surface wear consistent with age and use. The intricate pierced decoration remains visually striking. Please examine the photographs carefully for the overall condition and details of the hallmarks.
