Antique Solid Silver Kettle with Ornate Chased Motifs - Elkington & Co. 1904

Description and Details 

We are delighted to offer this Edwardian solid silver kettle made by renowned maker Elkington & Co in Newhall Street, Birmingham.

The kettle "set" is comprised of the kettle, stand and a burner all made from solid silver. The overall build quality is superb with a thick gauge of silver and a sturdy handle at the top.

The exterior of the kettle features an array of ornate chased motifs from roses to scrolled acanthus leaves and foliage. An applied cast border is present around the circumference of the top that connects to the handles and the spout features further chased acanthus leaves.

The interior remains in excellent clean condition with no leaks and in useable condition. 

The kettle stand features three cast feet with a continued chased acanthus design. The stand has two pins that lock the kettle in place, preventing it from moving.

The burner slots in the stand's holder and its string, wick holder and snuffer/extinguisher cap is present.

A presentation engraving has been made on both of the cartouches around the waist. All hallmarks are present and clear on the side of the kettle (last photo).

A superb choice for collectors of traditional English silverware for dining tables etc and equally practical and indulging for usage.
