ANTIQUE SILVER WINE CRADLES
Towards the end of the 19th Century, as wine became more available and affordable, silversmiths created novel and interesting accessories to enhance the drinking experience. Wine cradles were one such object, created for use with red wines which did not need to be kept cold, and allowing the bottle to be poured without having to pick it up. Sterling silver examples are rare to find, with silver plate examples being produced in greater numbers.
