Antique Victorian Silver Plate Ornate Coal Scuttle Nut Dish Sugar Scoop 19th C

Elegant antique Victorian-era silver-plated miniature coal scuttle on pedestal base, measuring 5.5" high including handle and 7" long including handle. Decorated with ornate repoussé floral and scroll designs and a scalloped edge, this decorative piece was often used in the late 19th to early 20th century as a nut or candy dish, or to hold wooden matches on the mantelpiece. A fine accent for antique home décor or a unique collectible conversation piece. Condition Note: This antique silverplate scoop shows gentle age-appropriate wear and a few areas where the silver plating has thinned. It has been lightly polished with silver cream to restore some shine, but retains some darker areas that the buyer or I could continue to polish. No cracks; two very shallow dents in the pedestal base. 📦 Packaging: This item will be carefully packed with protective padding and shipped double-boxed to ensure it arrives safely. ✨ Care Note: Gently hand-cleaned and lightly polished with non-abrasive silver cream, preserving its original patina and finish. 💡 Aftercare Tip: To maintain its beauty, simply wipe with a soft silver cloth and store wrapped in fabric to slow tarnish.
