Antique Georgian Sterling Silver Warming Stand - Edward Aldridge II - Rare:
$324.99
Own a piece of history with this exquisite antique Georgian Sterling Silver Warming Stand, crafted by the renowned silversmith Edward Aldridge II. This piece is a testament to the fine craftsmanship of the Georgian era, showcasing delicate design and superior silver work. The central perforated plate is intact and in good condition. However, it is missing the ornate decorative pieces that would have been attached to the four plate holder arms. These pieces likely served to further secure and stabilize a vessel placed on the stand. Despite this, the stand remains a stunning example of 18th/19th-century silversmithing and a highly collectible item. Perfect for collectors of antique silver or those seeking a unique and elegant decorative piece.
Product Line and Manufacturing:This is a hand-crafted piece of sterling silver, made using traditional silversmithing techniques of the Georgian era. Edward Aldridge II was a known silversmith, and his pieces were typically made with meticulous attention to detail. This warming stand would have been formed, shaped, and decorated by hand, showcasing the skill of the silversmith. The central plate would have been made with hand pierced decoration. The missing ornate pieces on the arms were likely cast separately and then attached.
Please note that while this warming stand is attributed to Edward Aldridge II, I have been unable to locate any visible hallmarks. This is not uncommon with antique silver pieces due to age and wear.
