AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A fine pair of hand-chased silver-plated urns produced in Sheffield, England, and crafted in silverplate over copper. Each piece features a flared rim decorated with richly detailed foliate motifs, elegant twin scroll handles with shell ornamentation, and a gadrooned lower body rising from a stepped, lobed pedestal base. The interiors display the original ribbed finish, typical of high-quality Sheffield plate from the early to mid-20th century.
Both urns are well-proportioned and display beautifully, with a bright silvered surface and crisp decorative work. The chasing is executed by hand, giving each piece subtle individuality. These can be used as decorative vases, small wine coolers, champagne holders for half bottles, or as statement centrepieces.
The bases are marked “Hand Chased Silverplate on Copper – Sheffield England,” confirming their origin and traditional manufacturing technique. Condition is generally good, with light age-related wear and minor surface marks consistent with use.
A stylish and classic pair of English decorative silverplate pieces, ideal for collectors of Sheffield ware or for elegant interior décor.
