THIS IS A RARE AND HIGHLY DESIRABLE FIGURAL CASTOR BOTTLE FRAME FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE 19TH CENTURY IN THE ROCOCO STYLE. ROCOCO SILVER PLATE IS HARD TO FIND COMPARED TO OTHER STYLES OF VICTORIAN PLATED WARES SUCH AS RENAISSANCE REVIVIAL OR EASTLAKE STYLES. I BELIEVE THIS CASTOR WAS MADE SHORTLY AFTER THE PROCESS OF ELECTROPLATING WAS INVENTED IN THE 1840\'S. THIS ONE IS EXCEPTIONAL IN THAT IT FEATURES NATURALISTIC GRAPES ON THE HANDLES AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE REVOLVING BOTTLE HOLDER AND OAK LEAVES AND ACORNS ON THE BASE. IT MEASURES ABOUT 15\" TALL AND 7\" IN DIAMETER. IT DOESN\'T SEEM TO BE MARKED AND IT DOES APPEAR TO NEED TO BE RE-PLATED ALTHOUGH I MADE NO ATTEMPT TO CLEAN OR POLISH IT. THIS WOULD BE A TOP OF THE LINE ITEM WHEN RESTORED AND WITH A NICE SET OF BOTTLES. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
