Description

Condition

This superb antique silver condiment set is in very good condition with a small amount of damage and restoration. All the castors, bottles and frame are original and matching and the silver marks are all matching and clear and easy to read. The caster tops are marked lion and makers mark only. The two bottle tops are unmarked as is generally the case at that date. The glass has that lovely Georgian colour which you don't find today. Everything is just as you'd wish to see – even the bottle tops fit snugly in the circular holders on the side of the frame. One of the small castor tops has a few repairs and small splits but is still perfectly serviceable. Please note that this item is not new and will show moderate signs of wear commensurate with age. Reflections in the photograph may detract from the true representation of this item.
