2 Victorian Sterling Silver Chased Salt Cellars-Hallmarked 1885 -Josiah Williams
2 Victorian Sterling Silver Cauldron Salt Cellars. These gorgeous salt cellars are made from sterling silver by the noted silversmith, Josiah Williams & Co. They are of cauldron form and stand on 3 hoof feet. The bodies have been exquisitely and deeply chased with scrolls and flora and not embossed as is often the case. The cartouches to the front are engraved with an armorial crest depicting a mythical creature. The rims have a fine line of beading and the interiors are richly gilded. They are hallmarked for London 1885 with the maker’s mark of George Maudsley Jackson of Josiah Williams & Co. Both cellars are in beautiful condition and the decorative detail is nice and crisp. The only issues are some tiny dinks to the edge of the rims and a couple of black spots inside. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN PAGE TO SEE MORE IMAGES Approximate Measurements.

To ensure items are safe in transit, I package them very well and, unfortunately, this does increase mailing costs somewhat. All packages must be signed for upon receipt. Should you wish to return an item, please contact me as soon as possible after receiving it. I source and re-home high quality antique and vintage silver at wholesale prices. On the odd occasion, I come across something that might have had a bit of a rough life but deserves a second chance rather than being consigned to the melting pot. In all cases, because buyers are purchasing from a distance, I always provide in-depth condition reports and multiple high-magnification images in my listings to give you as much information as possible.
