British Vintage Silverplate Small Silent Butler by Barker Ellis

Introducing a vintage silent butler.

A silent butler is a tool similar to a dustpan that was used by servers to clean bread crumbs, cigarette ashes, and the like from the table.

This piece is from the British company "Barker Ellis".
The lid features beautiful carved decorations, and the handle to open the lid is designed like a shell. The legs have an antique-style cabriole leg design.
There is minimal plating wear and little deterioration of the wooden handle, and the storage condition is excellent.

We hope this "once-in-a-lifetime encounter" becomes something special for you.
