These fine antique Georgian Irish sterling silver sauceboats have a plain oval rounded form.
The body of each piece is embellished with impressive concave fluted decoration emanating from a central point of the underside, accented with graduating circular motifs to the terminals to the sides.
The rims of these impressive sauce boats are encompassed with a band of concave circular motifs.
The sauceboats are fitted with opposing scroll handles featuring chased stylised leaf design to the upper portion, incorporating a scrolling leaf decorated thumbpiece.
Each example of antique Georgian silverware is supported by three impressive applied hoof feet with stylised shell decorated sockets, accented with a sunburst design in junction with the body.
Pairs of Irish silver sauceboats in such exceptional condition are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
