Antique Silver

 

 

Item: Egg Timer Description: Barley Twist Columns with star terminals  Hallmark: Chester 1899 by Saunders & Shepherd Dimensions: 57mm long

Comments: A rare and beautiful example of a Victorian egg timer. The hour glass contains fine sand that takes 3 and 1/2 minutes to run through - perfect for a soft boiled egg! The silver frame consists of three twist columns and a pierced six point star to both ends. Egg timers are extremely scarce in silver and have rarely survived in good order. 

Ref.: JV/8179 Price: SOLD
