Antique Sterling Silver Trophy Cup
An unusual Antique English sterling silver two-handled trophy presentation cup. Beautifully stylized with an ornate applied “strap” design on the lower body of the cup and a deeply engraved gadroon base. The two gently scrolling handles are decorated with strong bead motif that perfectly compliments the carved gadroon base and adds to the trophy cup’s stylistic symmetry. It is stamped with a full set of English sterling hallmarks, indicating the cup was made in London in 1903. The trophy cup is in excellent condition and has a very nice patina. It stands 5 ¾ in. tall and measures 5 in. in diameter at the mouth. The length is 9 in. from handle to handle. It is quite heavy with a weight of 24 troy ounces. Price: $2,000.00
