Description :

Two vintage silver-plated coffee urns with ornate designs.


Overall Setting

  • Both urns are displayed on a black surface with a plain white background, highlighting their reflective silver finish.

Urn Details

  • Material: Silver-plated over copper (as indicated by your description), giving them a warm undertone and durability.
  • Design:
    • Both urns have a bulbous body with a high-domed lid topped by a decorative finial.
    • Handles: Elegant, curved handles with scrollwork and floral motifs.
    • Spouts: Short, curved spouts integrated into the body.
    • Bases: Each urn sits on an ornate stand with curved legs and decorative flourishes.
  • Heating Element: The right urn includes a detachable burner at the bottom, suggesting it was designed for keeping coffee warm.
  • Condition: Both pieces show some tarnish and patina, typical of vintage silver-plated items, but overall appear well-preserved.

Stylistic Notes

  • The design suggests a Victorian or Edwardian influence, often seen in early 20th-century silver service pieces.
  • These urns were likely used for formal tea or coffee service, making them collectible.
