Drinking Silver and Barware

There's something wonderful about serving a home made cocktail from an art deco silver plate cocktail shaker. Here you will find quintessential bar related items such as art Deco Silver and Silver Plated cocktail shakers, ice buckets, silver plated champagne buckets and bar sets.

Also here can be found more traditional antique drinks related items such as silver tankards and mugs, claret jugs in both silver and plate, wine ewers, silver beakers and goblets.

Finally we stock a number of wine related antiques such as Georgian wine funnels and wine funnel stands, antique silver wine coolers and silver bottle coasters. Occasionally we also buy silver corkscrews and Georgian wine labels too.
