Sterling Silver Fox Pepperette - Antique George V (1910)

This exceptional antique Victorian cast sterling silver pepperette has been realistically modelled in the form of a fox.

The surface is embellished with details reproducing the fox's coat and facial features.

The pepper retains the original hallmarked push fit cover/head which features pierced 'pepper' holes to the fox's chin; the location of the holes creates an increased aesthetic appearance to the piece and is a fine feature.

Antique silver fox pepper pots make a charming and distinctive gift, ideal for Christmas, birthdays or weddings. Favoured by collectors of novelty silver and hosts who value whimsical yet refined tableware, they add character to any curated dining setting.

Maker: Alfred Clark

Date: 1910

This antique sterling silver fox pepper is a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional presentation condition.

The cast decoration is very sharp.

The hallmarks struck to the surface of the fox's tail and part hallmarks to the sleeve of the cover are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck clearly due to the superior gauge of silver.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of antique silverware.
