Antique Sheffield Silver Plate Tantalus Wine Caddy Holder Circa 1860-1870

The Antique Sheffield Silver Plate Tantalus Wine Caddy Holder, dating back to circa 1860-1870, is a sophisticated bottle caddy designed to hold up to 3 bottles with widths of up to 3 1/2 inches. Made of silverplate, this elegant caddy features a handle for easy transportation and stands at a height of 17 inches, making it a striking addition to any bar or dining area. The classic silver color and ornate design reflect the craftsmanship of the era, adding a touch of vintage charm to your home decor.Most Old Sheffield Plate is not marked but a great deal of silverplate is also not marked so lack of any marking is not definitive. Since Old Sheffield Plate is made like a sandwich with silver being the bread and copper being the filling, look to the edges for clues.  If when you turn over a piece, there is a thread-like silver protuberance on the underside of the edge, then it is Old Sheffield Plate  If there is a telltale seam where two ends were put together, (often copper is showing through at this seam), then you have Old Sheffield Plate.
