A fine and impressive antique Edwardian English sterling silver pepperette realistically modelled in the form of a bear; an addition to our range of silver novelty items
Description
This fine antique Edwardian sterling silver pepperette has been realistically modelled in the form of a bear.
This impressive novelty pepperette is embellished with embossed and chased decoration reproducing the details of the bear's fur and features.
The pepperette retains the original fully hallmarked push fit cover/head which features pierced 'pepper' holes to the posterior surface.
This impressive antique model sits to a plain circular base.
Such original period pieces are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
ConditionThis antique sterling silver pepperette is a very good gauge of silver, very good quality and in excellent condition.
Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the body and part hallmarks to the surface of the cover/head are all very clear.
Reflections in photography may detract from the true representation of this piece of Edwardian silverware.
