James Fenton & Co. - Salt cellar (2) - Birmingham 1908

Beautiful pair of sterling silver salt cellars crafted by James Fenton in Birmingham in 1908. Each piece stands on three stylised leaf-shaped feet and features elegant Art Nouveau relief motifs with flowing, organic lines typical of the early 20th century. The gently flaring body and wide rim complete the refined design. Both salt cellars retain their original glass liners, which are intact and undamaged — a rare and desirable feature. The silver surfaces are bright, with only light age-related marks consistent with careful use. Dimensions: – Height: 3.2 cm – Width: 5 cm – Total weight: 76 g – Hallmarked for James Fenton, Birmingham, 1908 Condition: Very good antique condition. Minor surface marks and small traces of age. The decorative details remain crisp, the feet stable, and the original liners are in excellent condition with no cracks or chips. A fine, collectible pair — an excellent example of English Art Nouveau silver.
