George V Silver Toast Rack, Lee & Wigfull, 1914
Here we have an ornate George V Sterling Silver Four Slice Toast Rack. The rack has a bowed rectangular base standing on four paw feet. The scalloped arch dividers are decorated with scrolls as is the oval finger ring handle, which attaches to the central divider by a ball.
The toast rack was made in Sheffield by Lee & Wigfull and dates to 1914. Founded in Sheffield in 1871 by George Lee and Harry Wigfull, the firm were electroplaters, silversmiths and pewterers. George Lee left the firm in 1879 but the company continued to trade as Lee & Wigfull. The firm prospered and remained in the Wigfull family until the end of the Second World War. A number of buyers then followed before the firm ceased trading around 1969.
Condition is very good, with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that has to be expected after over 110 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The toast rack is 10.8cm / 4.25ins long, 6.7cm / 2.6ins wide and stands 10.5cm / 4.1ins high. It weighs in at a very respectable 76.8g / 2.7oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on one end of the base, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the crown assay mark for Sheffield, the date letter w for 1914 and the H.W makers' mark for Harry Wigfull of Lee & Wigfull.
Shipping in the UK is £12.50 by Royal Mail Special Delivery, which includes cover for the value of the toast rack.
Overseas customers, please ask us about shipping costs to your country before making a purchase.
