Description
Suite of Four Victorian Sterling Silver Salt Cellars

hallmarked London, 1871-1872, by Robert Hennell IV (1826-1891; free 1849), with coquille-form bowl raised on three dolphin feet, the interior gilt.
h. 1-3/8", l. 2-1/2", w. 2-1/4"; 4.45 total t. oz.

Literature: Percy Hennell, Hennell Silver Salt Cellars, 1736 to 1876 (East Grubstead, Sussex: BLA Publishing & the author, 1986), pp. 25-26.
John Culme, The Directory of Gold & Silversmiths, Jewellers and Allied Traders 1838-1914, v. I (Woodbridge, Suffolk: Antique Collectors' Club, 1987), pp. 226-227.

Notes: Robert Hennell IV was the great-great grandson of David Hennell I (see lots 17-20), and head of the Hennell firm 1868-1877. Compare the design of this set to that of a later example by Hukin and Heath; see lot 49.
Condition
**In overall good condition with no issues noted beyond the expected surface wear commensurate with age, including some fading to the gilding. Three of the feet have a hairline fissure on the underside where the two halves are joined; these appear to be minor flaws in the original construction rather than a later split.
