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 or visible dents. 📦 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 polised 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. Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions or you would prefer me to continue polishing the silver.
