This exceptional George II sterling silver coffee pot, dating to the 1740s, exemplifies the elegance of mid-18th-century English craftsmanship. Commissioned by an aristocratic family, the coffee pot features distinguished armorial engravings on both sides, signifying its noble origins.

The pot boasts a graceful baluster form with a tapering body resting on a circular, stepped, and spreading foot. Its scroll-decorated cast handle mountings and ornate leaf-capped swan neck spout reflect a high level of artistry. The stepped, domed ogee lid is topped with a finely detailed figural pinecone finial, while the double C-scroll handle, crafted from fruitwood, displays a warm patina and exquisite grain.

The coffee pot is elaborately chased with intricate scrolls, rocaille work, and foliage, showcasing masterful engraving and superior workmanship.
