Silver Figural Napkin Ring and Condiment Cart, Victorian

About This Piece

A delightful Victorian individual condiment or castor set in the Aesthetic Movement style. The napkin ring forms part of a cart which also holds a gilt-lined salt cellar, pepper shaker, and butter dish — seven pieces in total. These individual sets are genuinely hard to find complete, and this one retains its salt, pepper, and dishes.

The original butter pat has been replaced with a decorative dish etched with Big Ben, London. Three additional dishes are included, each etched with a London landmark:

• Big Ben, London
• Nelson’s Column, London
• St. Paul’s Cathedral, London
• Tower Bridge, London

Dine in your favourite spot on a tray with all the comforts of a formal table setting.
