Item Details
Description
A George III nutmeg grater, the barrel form decorated with continuous bands of floral scroll motifs in between reeded borders, the screw thread cover opening to reveal a gilded interior and removable plain grate having simple drilled holes. Maker's mark only struck twice 'SM' and tentatively attributed to Samuel Meriton II. Maximum length measuring 4 cm, gross weight 21.4 grams.
Condition
Appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying expected tarnishing and some general surface wear, marks and scratches. Minor surface dints and nicks and some heavier pitting marks to both ends. Slight loss of detail to areas of decoration. Screw action appears in good working order. Interior likely re-gilded. Struck with maker's mark to interior end of cover and base. Grate appears unmarked and is possibly not original.
