Sterling Silver Cake Stand by Omar Ramsden - Art Nouveau - Antique George V

£9,950.00

A magnificent, fine and impressive, rare antique George V English sterling silver Art Nouveau cake stand made by Omar Ramsden; an addition to our ornamental silverware collection

SKU C8514

This magnificent and rare antique George V sterling silver three-tiered cake stand has a circular form, in the iconic Art Nouveau manner.


The pierced decorated frame is embellished with cast organic-shaped designs.


The upper portion of the arched stand incorporates a leaf decorated carrying handle.


The stand is composed of three circular receivers, each retaining their original porcelain plates.


The original plates bear yellow decoration, accented with gold highlights; this is typical ornamentation of the period.


This antique silver cake stand is supported by four scrolling legs, accented with naturalistic textures and terminating with bun style feet.


The underside of each plate bears the maker's mark 'Hammersley & Co, Longton, Stoke on Trent, England'.


This magnificent and rare silver cake stand was crafted by the collectable and renowned silversmith Omar Ramsden and bears the Latin engraving 'Omar Ramsden Me Fecit' - Omar Ramsden made me to the underside.


Such cake stands of this period are typically electroplated; solid sterling silver examples are becoming increasingly difficult to locate and are highly desirable.


Date: 1932

This antique silver cake stand centrepiece is an exceptional and substantial gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition, as to be expected with this silversmith.

The cast decoration is all very sharp.

Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the stand are all very clear.


Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this example of ornamental silverware.
