A Unique Antique Pair of Solid Silver Salt Cellars, Pedestal Design - Daniel & John Wellby 1886

Description and Details 

This unique pair of Victorian solid silver salt cellars was made by silversmith Daniel & John Wellby in London, 1886.

Upon first glance, this pair is a little different from the counterpart salts, featuring a pedestal design and a square base in combination with a circular top bowl, the pair sets itself apart from the usual pair. 

The set remains in excellent condition with a beautiful gilt top bowl, a gadrooned band beneath the bowl and fine engravings along the neck/base of the foot.

The gilding not only provides an aesthetical purpose but prevents the oxidation of silver from the contents that may be placed upon the cellars. Suggested uses: Salt, pepper, spices, condiments of your choice. 

Full English hallmarks are present on the side of the bases of both pieces. 

A compact yet collectable set of salts, ideal for display on a dining table to spice up your interior decor with a hint of silver & gold sparkles and Victorian aesthetics.
