Photos are part of the description so please check out my photos and ask any questions. Please keep in mind when purchasing. I can’t help that. I try to make it as cheap as possible with box size but I have had a couple of recent items damaged. So I will use bigger boxes and double box when possible. I had the pleasure of attending a private estate sale in Moraga Estates, which is a gated community in the hills of Bel Air, CA. This is from the estate of a prosperous philanthropic family. The designer of the 8,000 sq ft home was noted architect and designer Cleo Baldon (the house was furnished by Cleo’s classic and iconic furniture) whose brother and sister in law were the home owners. They had an amazing collection of napkin ring holders and this is one. An antique Victorian silver plate napkin ring from Rogers Smith Meridian Silver Co. Unusual, it depicts two little boys with their arms raised holding the diamond shaped napkin ring with ornate designs and pierced edges. It is on a square base with four ball feet and it has a monogram of LMD. It is in nice condition except for needing polishing. Measures about 3″ tall x 3 1/4″ x 2 1/4 and weighs 5.6 oz before packing. They had an amazing collection of napkin ring holders, Asian art, jewelry and modern art. Pieces I will be listing in the coming days and weeks. I like having lots of photos on each item, but because the of quantity of items we will be posting, I will only a add few photos, but more than happy to send you more if needed. Excellent pre owned /used condition considering age with normal wear and tear. Items I sell are not new. They have been used so do not expect mint condition unless otherwise noted. Measurements are approximate and may not be totally exact. International Buyers Please Note.
The Connecticut manufacturing process was immediately embraced by New York’s moneyed crowd, advertised as all the advantages of silver in durability and beauty at one-fifth the cost. These pieces were in my family’s silver collection that I recently inherited. I recall polishing the silver as a young girl over 70 years ago. I was always told it came from my great, great grandmother Georgianna Mott. The family were diamond merchants on Mott Street in NYC. She lived in New York except in the summers when the family cooled off in the Berkshires of Stockbridge, MA. One of their homes was in Greenwich Village which later became the home of her son Henry Allen Seymour and daughter in law, Helen Deming. The history is known on this silver. The 1862 date is stamped on the bottoms of some pieces. One of the original teapots is missing, damaged in a move nearly 50 years ago. The silver plated, more modern tray in the first photo is NOT for sale, Not included, only used for dimensions and appearance. One notice, the teapot always had a marking on the side that it was once repaired but this had to be before 1947 when it was given to my father; as the one assigned to polishing it in our home, I always noticed it.
This is a genuine antique American silver-plated bride’s/serving basket by Rogers Bros. The circular applied mark reads ROGERS BROS. ” with “EXTRA. PLATE in the center. The Smithsonian has a Rogers Bros. Tray bearing essentially this same circular Hartford mark, described as EXTRA HEAVY PLATE. It is 12.5 inches long and 9.5 inches wide approximately 11 inches from the base to top of the handle. This is an oval pedestal basket/centerpiece with a tall swing handle, probably intended for fruit, bread, cake or general table service. Silver plate over a base metal rather than sterling silver. An elaborate openwork twisted-wire swing handle. A particularly nice late-Victorian form. That’s significantly older than the typical 20th-century 1847 Rogers Bros. Pieces people commonly encounter. The Smithsonian example confirms that this exact style of circular Hartford maker’s plaque was used on Rogers Bros.
