Condition Fine with marks indicative of both age and usage. Naturally tarnished. We have left the tarnishing on. You may wish to polish this away depending upon preference.

This wine/champagne bottle holder, produced by Atkins Brothers, a renowned English silversmith, stands at approximately 150mm in height. It's designed to accommodate bottles with a diameter of up to 108mm. The holder features a simple design with nicleyshaped handles and a subtly decorated top rim. It rests on a round foot rim for stability.
The underside bears Atkins Brothers' branding, along with markings indicating it's silver-plated (EPNS) and a serial number: 7539. As a vintage piece, it displays natural tarnishing, preserved intentionally. While the tarnish can be polished away, areas of plate loss, notably in the body and on the foot rim, are evident, likely due to over polishing.
Overall, this bottle holder serves both functionally and decoratively, embodying the fine craftsmanship and heritage of Atkins Brothers in silverware production.
