It’s always interesting to see what has caught the eye of our customers and there have been some very interesting objects that have found good homes over the last few weeks. None could be more delightful than this\u00a0wonderful large antique English Edwardian Sterling Silver Nef ,<\/a> which bears hallmarks for London 1902 and the makers mark of John George Piddington.<\/p>\n

English Edwardian Sterling Silver Nef <\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

A nef is an item of tableware, in the shape of a ship, that has been used since the middle ages to hold salt or spices. This one measures a hefty\u00a01 foot, 8 inches in height \u00a0x 1 foot, 10 inches wide and 7 inches in depth. The piece weighs a substantial 3.98 kg.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, the Nef would have been placed in front of the person deemed to be the most important at the table.<\/p>\n

If storing salt isn’t your thing, perhaps you might like to take look at our next item, still sticking with the tableware theme, this time it’s a\u00a0Victorian Silver Shell Shaped Biscuit Sweet Container<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Engraved into the shining silver plate is a delectable floral swirling pattern. The detailing is painstakingly intricate, with charming efflorescent patterns adorning almost every surface.<\/p>\n

The opening mechanism is as intricate as the detailing; the container opening out into two halves and held shut by a gorgeous clasp at the top. The interior is what really sets this piece apart from the rest, with alluring gilded surfaces and magnificently finished pierced lids for each compartment. Ideal for serving biscuits, sweets, After Eights, etc or it could be equally useful as a jewellery box, or for trinklet storage.<\/p>\n

Next, we finish with a piece from one of England’s most famous and sought after silversmiths – Paul Storr. This\u00a0Antique Paul Storr Sterling Silver Entree Dish 1796<\/a> completes our trio of tableware and does so in particular style.<\/p>\n

Collectors of antique silver often include works by Paul Storr in their collections and the new owner of this piece will no doubt be pleased with his purchase. This piece has hallmarks for London 1796, the makers mark of Paul Storr and bears an interesting coat of arms which\u00a0we have not researched. This is an early work by the maker \u00a0and features an elegant design featuring a gadrooned border which makes this piece even more desirable.<\/p>\n
