1868 British antique sterling silver mug 135g Arthur Sibley
SKU: 202407194508
We would like to introduce you to an antique British sterling silver mug.
This cup is called a christening cup.
It seems that it was given as a birth gift for children born into aristocratic or wealthy families.
This is a work by Arthur Sibley of London, England, circa 1868.
It is beautifully engraved all over, and the cartouche features a monogram that is believed to be the initials of the first owner.
It is made of thick silver, and although it is small, it is heavy and solidly built.
We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
