About the Item

Edwardian Cut Crystal Biscuit Barrel with Daniel & Arter Silver-Plated Lid, circa 1910 Material: Cut Lead Crystal, Silver Plate A handsome Edwardian cut crystal biscuit barrel by Daniel & Arter, dating to the early 20th century and combining finely cut glass with elegant silver-plated fittings. The barrel is formed from clear lead crystal and decorated with an attractive geometric arrangement of panel cutting and diamond crosshatching. The deeply cut decoration catches and reflects the light beautifully, creating the characteristic brilliance associated with quality crystal tableware of the period. It retains its original silver-plated lid, decorative finial and swing carrying handle, giving the piece the classic appearance of an Edwardian biscuit barrel intended for presentation on the tea table. The lid is stamped with the Daniel & Arter D&A globe trademark, together with “EBNS,” denoting Electroplated Britannia Nickel Silver, and pattern number G7881. Daniel & Arter of Birmingham were known for producing silver-plated wares and mounts during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Biscuit barrels were a fashionable component of late Victorian and Edwardian tableware, designed for serving biscuits and other small confectionery during afternoon tea. Presented in excellent antique condition. The crystal remains clear with crisp cut decoration, while the original silver-plated lid and handle survive with only light age-related wear consistent with the piece’s period. Date of Manufacture: circa 1905–1915 Period: Edwardian Style: Edwardian Country of Origin: England We ship tracked, worldwide.
