Description
A gorgeous item of late 1890s novelty silver. This super piece is crafted to represent a coal scuttle with an extended lip and wirework handles. The outside is decorated with repoussé work, featuring a winged cherub in a pastoral scene. The inside is velvet lined and there is a hallmarked silver thimble by the great Charles Horner, assayed at the sought after Chester Office. Dutch in origin, the scuttle has London import marks. A wonderful collector's piece and a great gift idea for the sewing enthusiast.
