An exceptional, fine and impressive pair of antique George III Irish sterling silver sauceboats or gravy boats; an addition to our Georgian dining silverware collection. These fine antique Georgian Irish sterling silver sauceboats have a plain oval rounded form. The body of each gravy boat is embellished with impressive concave fluted decoration emanating from a central point of the underside, accented with graduating circular motifs to the terminals to the sides. The rims of these impressive sauce boats are encompassed with a band of concave circular motifs. The sauceboats are fitted with opposing scroll handles featuring chased stylized leaf design to the upper portion, incorporating a scrolling leaf decorated thumbpiece. Each example of antique Georgian silverware is supported by three impressive applied hoof feet with stylized shell decorated sockets, accented with a sunburst design in junction with the body.
