Johnson Durban & Co. Antique Silverplate Samovar

Item: Samovar

Make: Johnson Durban & Co. (Birmingham, England)

Age: Circa 1900

Construction: Silverplate

Dimensions: 23" Tall x 12" Wide (With Handles) x 9" Diameter

Condition: Very good pre-owned antique condition. A few small dings/dents on the body of the samovar. The vessel tilts forward slightly on it's base. This is due to the metal being heated repeatedly with age and use. Please see photos. 

Details: Lovely Edwardian samovar with two dolphin motif handles and a repoussé and hand chased on body decorated in flowers and folded drapery. Spigot appears out of a floral motif terminating with an operating lever. The vase has a pseudo Asian theme of cranes and fans resting upon small bun feet at all four corners. Bottom of the base is stamped "J.D. & Co. Ltd" along with the model number "2877 18".
