Victorian Silverplate Cruet Set

Five-Bottle Cruet Set
Circa 1870

This elegant Victorian silverplated cruet set showcases the timeless refinement of the era. The silverplated stand features stepped sides, a double-bar gallery supported by vertical posts with ball finials and a shield-shaped medallion at the front. Raised on four ball feet, the tray centers a baluster-turned standard with a hollow ring finial, providing a graceful focal point.

Nestled within the stand are five cut glass cylindrical cruet bottles, each finely detailed. Two bottles are topped with faceted stoppers, while two are fitted with silverplated lids. Completing the set is a cylindrical jar with a hinged lid adorned with a pointed knop finial. This useful ensemble once served condiments like oil, vinegar, mustard and more, reflecting the era's blend of functionality and decorative artistry. Additionally, this cruet set was a part of the prestigious Red McCombs collection, which has been highly publicized and studied.
