georgian solid sterling silver rare nipple guard 1814

Georgian Solid 925 Sterling Silver Nipple Guard.

An exceptional and increasingly scarce example of a Georgian solid sterling silver nipple guard, crafted during a fascinating period of British silvermaking. Originally designed as a protective aid for nursing mothers, these delicate silver pieces were produced in very limited numbers and are now regarded as highly sought-after collectors’ items. Georgian silver nipple guards are among the more unusual forms of antique medical and domestic silver, with surviving examples becoming increasingly difficult to find.Beautifully made in solid .925 sterling silver, this piece displays the fine craftsmanship and elegant simplicity characteristic of the Georgian era. Its historical significance, rarity, and specialist appeal make it an outstanding addition to any collection of antique silver, medical antiques, curiosities, or Georgian period objects. Similar examples from the late 18th and early 19th centuries are held in private collections and offered by specialist antique dealers due to their rarity and desirability

UK Antique Silver

UK Antique Silver Antique Sterling Silver has been a passion of mine for many years. I was first introduced to the Antiques world in 1980 by my older brother who had a Antique shop on Arkwright Street, Nottingham “Michael and Elizabeth Antiques” It was from here that I fell in love with this wonderful profession. Over the years he would help me understand the different and diverse aspects of the trade, from Furniture to Silverware. When I began to understand more of the finer details of Sterling Silver I soon decided that this was going to be my special passion. Please browse around my site and indulge yourself with numerous periods of English history. While viewing each piece take time out to think of the original owners and their surroundings, and all of those that have held it before you and the stories that it could tell. I try and stock a fine array of antiques from the Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau and Art Deco Periods.
