Antique Dr Christopher Dresser design, silver plate toast rack or letter rack, in the aesthetic movement style. Thought to be a Dr Christopher Dresser design, but only marked with 4048 to the base. Most Dresser plate items, were unmarked. Difficult to date, but I would suggest around 1880 - 1900.
Good condition for age, with some superficial scratches, tarnishing and wear to the silver plate. 9.5ch wide, 7cm deep and 11cm high.
