Emile Edward Viner Hallmarked Silver Sifter, Sheffield 1932
This lot is a hallmarked silver sifter made by Emile Edward Viner and hallmarked in Sheffield for 1932. It weighs 136g. The sifter has an octagonal body that tapers to a stepped, octagonal foot. The domed upper section is pierced with stylised openwork panels and is topped by a tapering finial. The body carries a hallmark, and the piece is presented as a traditional silver sifter of the early twentieth century.
Condition and Collectability
The sifter shows light surface marks and general signs of age, most noticeably on the base and lower body. The pierced dome and finial appear intact, and the octagonal form is well defined. Hallmarked Sheffield silver from 1932 by a named maker will appeal to collectors of English silver and to buyers seeking a period sifter with a documented maker and date.
