Description

This exceptional antique Victorian sterling silver pepperette has been realistically modelled in the form of a bird* perched on a branch.

This impressive pepperette is embellished with details reproducing the definition of the bird’s plumage and anatomical features.

The surface of the perch is embellished with a tree bark texture, accented with branches extending outward.

The novelty pepperette retains the original fully hallmarked push fit cover/head which features pierced 'pepper' holes.

Such original period pieces incorporating a sculpted branch, in addition to the featured bird, are rare examples.
