This collection consists of various silver-plated items, reflecting Victorian and Neoclassical revival styles. The assortment includes a large tea kettle on a spirit burner stand, featuring a lobed and embossed body with shell and foliate motifs, an ebony-style handle, and a matching lid with a textured finial. The stand is designed with three textured legs resembling tree branches. Also included is a three-branch candelabrum in the Neoclassical style, displaying beaded borders on removable drip pans and a weighted, stepped circular base, similar in design to those produced by Viners of Sheffield. The collection further contains a tapered cylindrical coffee pot with a hinged lid, ball finial, and dark-coloured handle. A large circular tray or salver features a heavily embossed Rococo-style border of scrolls and shells surrounding a central field engraved with foliate patterns. Smaller decorative items include a helmet-shaped sugar scuttle with a matching scoop, a small trumpet-shaped vase with floral and beaded borders on a weighted base, and two large serving spoons, one of which is a slotted sifter spoon. No maker’s marks are clearly visible on the items from the provided images.
