A GEORGE III SILVER SUGAR BASKET

Estimate: £70 - £100
Hammer price: £220
Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

Condition Report;  There is some loss to the front of the pierced area of the basket below the engraved monogram.  There are further old repairs to the pierced decoration.  The foot looks to be re-soldered into position.  Overall a little tired.  The lot would benefit from personal viewing.  The glass liner is likely to be a later replacement
