The tapering circular collar of the holder is embellished with impressive chased and engraved floral decoration on a textured background.
The decoration to the collar incorporates a vacant cartouche to the anterior portion.
This silver bottle holder is fitted with an elongated handle ornamented with impressive chased fruiting vine decoration, accented with an engraved scrolling leaf decorated bolster in junction with the aforementioned collar.
