Each piece in my collection is chosen for its craftsmanship, authenticity, and quiet sense of history. I specialise in antique silver, maritime objects, property of a gentleman and late 19th century as well as early 20th century designs, curating items that tell the story of refined leisure and skilled workmanship.
These are objects made to be used, admired, and handed down—each one a small testament to the artistry and precision of its era.

Description
A superb and highly decorative late Victorian silver-plated novelty cricket toast rack, circa 1890–1900, wonderfully modelled throughout with an abundance of cricketing detail.
The six-division rack is formed from five pairs of crossed cricket bats, with a set of angled cricket stumps and bails positioned at either end.
Particularly charming is the substantial carrying handle, fashioned as a cricketer’s belt and buckle mounted upon a cricket ball.
The whole stands upon four finely modelled cricket-ball feet, completing this wonderfully inventive piece of late Victorian sporting tableware.
The toast rack is of notably heavy and substantial construction, weighing approximately 500 grams, and has a small unidentified pictorial maker’s or manufacturer’s mark to the frame.
A very appealing piece of Victorian cricket memorabilia, combining sporting history with the Victorian enthusiasm for novelty silver and silver-plated tableware.
