DESCRIPTION

Superb pair of Georgian silver navette shaped two handled pedestal salts, stag crested and with reeded borders and richly gilded interiors. The hallmarks are within the base and so are as crisp now as the day when they were struck.

OVERALL CONDITION

excellent, there was an original casting flaw to the underside of the top of one handle that looked to me as if it was thinking of going some time soon and so I have had it rectified. This is the repair shown below.
