Sterling Silver Deer and Stag Table Ornament - Antique Victorian

Description

These fine antique Victorian cast sterling silver table ornament is realistically modelled in the form of a stag and a submissively kneeling doe.

These cast sterling silver deer are embellished with chased decoration reproducing the detail of their features and fur coat.

The push fit deer and stag models are fitted to the original antique mahogany plinth.

The plinth is fitted with green baize to the underside.

The models have integrated screw fittings and are struck with part hallmarks, suggesting they may originally have been attached to a larger item of Victorian silverware such as a centrepiece.

Maker: Stephen Smith & William Nicholson

Date: Circa 1870

Origin: London, England

Condition

These antique sterling silver deer models are a very good gauge of silver, fine quality and in excellent condition.

The individual deer have been professionally polished and are in presentation condition.

The chased decoration is very sharp.

The maker's mark, lion passant and monarch's head struck to the surface of each model are show signs of wear but remain legible.

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