Sterling Silver Salt by Charles Frederick Hancock - Antique Victorian Video

Sterling Silver Salt by Charles Frederick Hancock - Antique Victorian

Description

This exceptional antique Victorian cast sterling silver salt has been realistically modelled in the form of two putto*/cherubs carrying a large basket using horizontal bar supports.

The surface is embellished with details reproducing the anatomical features of the putti, in addition to the naturalistic textures of the terrain beneath their feet and the woven texture of the vessel.

The salt retains the original hallmarked plain rectangular liner.

The base of the salt bears the retailer's mark 'Hancocks & Co, 39 Bruton S^T, London'.

This versatile salt vessel is a substantial size and if required could be used as a match striker or standalone ornament.

* In art and culture, a putto (plural: putti) is a chubby male child, usually nude and occasionally bearing wings.
