Victorian Silver Plated Double Nut Cracker Art Nouveau Engraved Handles

Description: This elegant nut cracker is a stunning piece of Victorian silver plated Art Nouveau tableware. Its intricate engraving and double nut breaker could make it a unique addition to any collection. This nut cracker is from an unknown maker and has a high-quality silver plate. Its style is Victorian and it is believed to be from the late 1850s to the early 1890s. This antique piece is perfect for collectors of flatware and silverware, as well as those who appreciate the Art Nouveau pattern. It weighs 5 solid ounces with engraved detailed handles and it's very sturdy made to last many lifetimes. It was an estate sale find from years ago, probably a forgotten family heirloom piece. It would look great with a wooden bowl of nuts in the shells for a usable holiday table nut bowl center piece. It was a standard holiday tradition to have a bowl of nuts with a cracker and some picks back in the Victorian times. I remember even in the 1960's growing up my family always had a wooden bowl of mixed nuts with a metal nut cracker set out during the holidays, some people still carry on the Victorian tradition today. Yeah for the most part those days are gone with the easy convenience of having jars or cans of nuts ready to eat no fuss. I say bring back the old Victorian tradition in your family around the holidays for a beautiful centerpiece sure to bring back the memories of some family members celebrating the holidays with you.
