I trade in small silver, jewellery and objets d'art. I sell primarily at antiques fairs and in cabinets in Christique Antique Centre in Dorking. I try to find unusual and interesting stock and like to keep turning it over, so I can buy more. Postage and packing are free within the UK - unless explicitly stated otherwise. All fine jewellery will be supplied with a box. If the box/case is described in the text, it will be the one photographed, but may not be if it is not mentioned explicitly. I keep hardly any stock at home, if you want to buy something and need it urgently, I will usually do it the next day, but it may take me some time to respond if you need extra photographs and/or details about the piece that I do not have to hand, as I typically visit the antiques centre just once a week. If you don't see what you're looking for - feel free to send an enquiry via the site. I have only been able to list a portion of my stock.

Description
Nearly 200 years old and still a useful addition to the modern table. George IV nutcrackers with king's pattern, silver handles – Birmingham 1829, Taylor & Perry - 15cm long - 127g gross. This lovely pair of Georgian nutcrackers have silver handles decorated with the attractive scrolling shell decoration, known as "king's pattern" and a fold-over action which allows for cracking of large and small nuts. The crackers themselves are plated over heavy steel with lightly studded grips to give a strong action. There are well-struck, legible, full English Sterling hallmarks to the bottom of each handle for Birmingham 1829, with sponsor's/maker's marks for Taylor & Perry.
