Sheffield, Art Deco, circa 1880
This stunning antique silver-plated egg coddler stand by Mapple Princess Plate, London
Sheffield exemplifies the finest craftsmanship of the late 19th century. Designed in a refined Art Deco style circa 1880, this remarkable piece combines both functionality and aesthetic elegance.
The set features four silver-plated egg holders with four matching spoons, all gracefully presented on a finely detailed pierced basket stand resting on four balled feet. The central ring handle provides balance and ease of serving, while the sculpted edge and polished finish add sophistication to the overall design.
Each egg cup measures approximately 2 1/3" in height by 1 7/8" in diameter, and the basket itself measures 6 1/2" in height by 6 3/4" in width by 7 3/4" in depth. All components — including the basket, spoons, and egg holders — are clearly stamped with the maker’s marks, attesting to their authenticity and quality.
This luxurious silver-plated set remains in excellent antique condition, with minor age-related patina that enhances its vintage charm. It makes a perfect addition to elegant breakfast tables, fine dining collections, or luxury interiors, and serves equally well as a decorative display piece.
We offer professional polishing and engraving removal upon request (additional charge; shipping delay applies).
A matching toast holder, two pots with pearl inlays, an extra tray, cream jug, salt shaker, and lidded bacon warmer server can also be included as part of a coordinated breakfast silver set, available at extra cost.

From Mappin & Webb site:
Mappin & Webb is a true British treasure with over 240 years of tradition and historical significance in the world of silver and fine jewellery. Renowned for combining timeless craftsmanship with superior quality and contemporary design, we have produced exquisite fine jewellery, elegant silverware, watches, glassware and the unique lifestyle accessories that have long been at the heart of affluent British society.
It’s a story that began in 1775, when Jonathan Mappin opened a workshop in Sheffield. His mission was to create the most beautifully crafted silverware for British society.
Over the immediate years that followed this would see the company expand internationally, receive Royal Warrants and commissions from Monarchs around the world, and become synonymous with excellence, craftsmanship and all things truly British.
The Early Years: A Family Partnership.
Within a year the first Mappin hallmark was recorded at the assay office and in 1780 Jonathan Mappin was given the Freedom of the Cutlers Company. The ‘Cutlers Company of Hallamshire’, to give it its full title, was incorporated in 1624 to provide jurisdiction over those making cutlery near Sheffield and to promote Sheffield as a place of expertise.

Asprey was established in England in 1781 and founded as a silk printing business by William Asprey, it soon became a luxury emporium. In 1841, William Asprey's elder son Charles went into partnership with a stationer located on London's Bond Street. In 1847 the family broke with this partner and moved into 167 New Bond Street, the premises Asprey occupies today.
From its central London location Asprey advertised 'articles of exclusive design and high quality, whether for personal adornment or personal accompaniment and to endow with richness and beauty the table and homes of people of refinement and discernment.' An early speciality was dressing cases. Asprey crafted traditional cases and designs, mostly in leather, suitable for the new style of travel ushered in by railways. The main competitors at the time were H.J. Cave & Sons. Asprey was recognised for its expertise when it won a gold medal for its dressing cases at the International Exhibition of 1862 but lost out to its rivals, H.J. Cave & Sons in 1867.
The company consolidated its position through acquisitions. In 1859 Asprey absorbed Edwards, an award winning maker of dressing cases and holder of a Royal Warrant. The company also purchased the Alfred Club at 22 Albemarle Street, which backed on to the New Bond Street store and meant that Asprey now had entrances on two of London's most fashionable streets.
In 1862, Asprey was granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria. The Prince of Wales, later to be crowned Edward VII, granted another Royal Warrant. In 1953, for the coronation of Elizabeth II, Asprey paid homage with the Asprey Coronation Year Gold Collection, which featured a dessert, coffee and liqueur service in 18-carat gold and weighed almost 27 pounds. In April 1953, it went on show in the New Bond Street store and subsequently toured the United States.
As the business grew, the company acquired manufacturing facilities and hired silversmiths, goldsmiths, jewellers and watchmakers including Ernest Betjeman, the father of the distinguished poet John Betjeman, one of the most highly regarded craftsman and designers of his day.
In the twenties, commissions poured in from around the world, from American millionaire J. Pierpont Morgan to potentates such as the Maharaja of Patiala, who commissioned a huge teak travelling trunk for each of his wives in which each trunk was fitted with solid silver washing and bathing utensils with waterspouts of ornate tiger head and lined with blue velvet. Asprey cigarette cases...
