Description

A diverse collection of antique and vintage metalware, primarily silver-plated and brass, featuring a variety of decorative and functional household items from the early to mid-20th century. Key Details: * Origin/Era: Early to Mid-20th Century (potentially late Victorian/Edwardian for some pieces) * Material: Silver-plated metal (including EPNS, Sheffield Silver Plated, A1 Silver), Brass/Bronze * Markings: Includes "SILVER PLATED SHEFFIELD MADE IN ENGLAND" on the two-handled bowl, "EPNS" marks on the pierced dish, "A1 SILVER" on one goblet base, and "DM&S" on the pedestal stand. * Items Included: Two goblets, one sugar scuttle, one ornate lidded box, one two-handled bowl, one large pierced decorative dish, one small footed bowl, one pedestal stand, one tea strainer, and two small candleholders. Condition: All items exhibit significant tarnishing and varying degrees of plating loss consistent with age and use. Some pieces show minor dents and surface wear. The matchbox visible in one image is not considered part of this metalware lot. Interesting fact: * Electroplated Nickel Silver (EPNS) became widely popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as an affordable alternative to sterling silver, making decorative items accessible to a broader market. * Sheffield, England, was a prominent center for metal manufacturing, including silver plating, earning a reputation for quality craftsmanship in the production of household wares. Use: This varied lot is ideal for collectors of vintage metalware, prop styling, or for those seeking unique decorative accents for a period home.
