antique english pair figural salts spoons coal pail shovels c1895

Description

A stunning pair of English Victorian salts in silver plate in the form of coal buckets or pails with swing handles and each lucky enough to have retained their original shovel form spoons which fit into the holder at the back.
These wonderful novelty salts have just been re-gilded on the inside as they would have originally been, the gilding was worn, so my silversmith took care of this.
Each is marked on the underside with a Fleur-de-Lys and Gondola together with the markers initials D & H for the silversmith, DEYKIN & HARRISON of Birmingham, this mark dates them to the end of the nineteenth century.
Excellent condition, measuring 2 1/4" tall with the spoon measuring 2 5/8" in length.
