About MeThis coffee pot displays all the hallmarks of rococo period decoration, with chased swags and foliage, yet it is still more restrained than work produced by English goldsmiths of this period. Allan has combined ornament and function with the double scroll walnut handle, an elegant addition to the silver body of the pot.


More About Me
This elegant coffee pot is pure rococo in its decoration.
