An exceptional, fine and impressive pair of antique George III Irish sterling silver sauceboats; an addition to our Georgian dining silverware collection

These fine antique Georgian Irish sterling silver sauceboats have a plain oval rounded form.

The body of each piece is embellished with impressive concave fluted decoration emanating from a central point of the underside, accented with graduating circular motifs to the terminals to the sides.

The rims of these impressive sauce boats are encompassed with a band of concave circular motifs.

The sauceboats are fitted with opposing scroll handles featuring chased stylised leaf design to the upper portion, incorporating a scrolling leaf decorated thumbpiece.

Each example of antique Georgian silverware is supported by three impressive applied hoof feet with stylised shell decorated sockets, accented with a sunburst design in junction with the body.

Pairs of Irish silver sauceboats in such exceptional condition are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.

These antique sauceboats are an exceptional gauge of silver for their type, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

Full Irish hallmarks struck to the underside of each sauceboat are all very clear in keeping with age and location.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these pieces of antique silverware.
