Rare Antique 18thc Old Sheffield Plate Gravy Argyle Original Elegance Epitomised
OFFERED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A GENUINE ANTIQUE LATE 18TH CENTURY ENGLISH OLD SHEFFIELD PLATE GRAVY ARGYLE (SAUCE HEATER VESSEL). THIS MOST ELEGANT AND VERY ORIGINAL UNMODIFIED EXAMPLE IS RARE, AS YOU ARE SEEING IT, AS IT WAS, OVER TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO. THE BODY IS OF VASE SHAPE SUPPORTED ON ROUND PEDESTAL FOOT. THE COVER TAPERS AT THE NECK TO FORM A DOME WHICH SUPPORTS A BALL FINIAL. THE INTERIOR IS FITTED WITH A LIDDED CYLINDRICAL HEATING COMPARTMENT.

THE CARVED UP SWEPT HANDLE TERMINATES AT A LEAF JUNCTION. IT IS IN EFFECT A COFFEE POT SHAPE BUT THE PURPOSE IS CLEARLY FOR SAUCE/GRAVY. AND FROM A COLLECTORS PERSPECTIVE, IT WOULD BE WELL MATCHED WITH A GEORGE III COFFEE POT OF THE SAME FORM.

IT WILL BE HARD TO FIND ANOTHER IDENTICAL, COMPLETE AND ORIGINAL. A BEAUTIFUL WORK OF DECORATIVE ART CREATED USING SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST OVER TIME THAT WE WILL NOT LIKELY SEE AGAIN. INDEED, IF ELEGANCE WAS AN OBJECT, THIS WOULD BE IT!! I SELL GENUINE ANTIQUES ONLY NOT REPRODUCTIONS THIS ITEM IS GUARANTEED TO BE OVER 200 YEARS OLD.

HEIGHT: 19.5 CM HIGH. CONDITION: EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR AGE.
