BEAUTIFUL AUTHENTIC VICTORIAN SILVERPLATE PICKLE CASTOR Lovely Victorian Ornate Castor Frame with Tongs and Stunning Glass Insert with Nude Woman and a Winged Cherub ca. 1880 This is a beautiful Pickle Castor...and the only one in my Aunt's collection with such a lovely looking glass insert that has three pannels each depicting a nude woman walking with a winged cherub child. Just precious!! The glass insert looks to be perfect with some tiny teenie dings along the upper lip w the metal lid fits on. Could barely see these myself. The lovely and ornate pickle castor was made by the New Haven Silver Co. in New Haven, Connecticut in the late 1800's. The castor set stands at a very tall 11.5 inches in height, and the base is about just over 4 inches in diameter. T is also a lovely pair of pickle tongs that hang on the side of the castor resting on what looks like a peacock head. The set is clearly hallmarked on the bottom with the Newhaven Silver Co. logo. The silverplating looks pretty tarnished and it has this nice soft patina. I cannot tell if t is any siverplating missing as we refrain from polishing as many collectors have told us they prefer the aged look of the antique. This pickle cator displays quite nicely and would be a handsome addition to any table setting. Thank you for bidding. We hope this goes to a nice home. NO RESERVE As noted in my other auctions, I am not a dealer or in the antique business. I am selling some collections that came out of my Aunt's home on Nantucket Island, Mass. She collected antiques and traveled the world from 1905-1948 as a nurse. She was an artist and lover of poetry and it is our hope that these items my family is selling, will go to homes that appreciate antiquities as did my Aunt. My goal is to exceed your expectations. Please email me with your questions or concerns. Please do not wait until after you have bid and/or won the auction to contact me with your inquiries. It is impossible for me to be an expert on the items I am selling so I do my very best to describe the items in detail and I take several pictures. I realize the condition of an item can vary depending on the person who is looking at it, so I am depending on you to ask specific questions if I have not given you enough details or should you like to correct something that I may have stated incorrectly. I welcome any help or knowledge you can share with me. Please read the entire description and look at the pictures carefully prior to bidding. It also helps it you can e-mail me with any questions 24 hrs prior to the close of the auction. My aim is to give all of you an honest and accurate description of the items my family is listing As in any live auction, it is the potential bidders responsiblity to be completely informed about what they are bidding on. I guarantee my items to be as described and photographed. My Aunt's collections also came from purchases she made in her hunt for fine antiquities, and as such, many of the items I place for auction, have been a part of other peoples lives so scratches, dings, dents, chips and cracks, etc. are to be expected. Knowing this I attempt to describe these imperfections as I find them. I am a VERY honest seller so you may bid without concern. Shipping and Payment Information Successful bidder will pay shipping and handling fees. I try to keep shipping and handling to a minimum, but please realize that these costs include packing material, time, and driving to and from the post office. We try to break even on shipping. We recycle shipping supplies as much as possible, so if you get a box that has been used before please don't think poorly of us. If the amount of postage on a package does not equal what you were charged for shipping, remember, the box, packing materials, labor and a trip to the post office or UPS counter. At our discretion, we ship either US mail, USPS or FedEx. We attempt to use the carrier that is most economical taking all things into account...
