Absolutely exquisite, highly collectable viscount david linley gentleman's shooting compendium with edinburgh made sterling silver finishing touches.
the linley gentleman's shooting companion in oiled walnut is a portable miniature drinks carrier designed for taking on a shoot, it sports sturdy leather handles on either side for easy transportation and bears a sterling silver engravable plaque on the lid for personalization. The corners are protected by nickel brackets. On releasing the nickel silver clasp of the box and opening it, a neatly packed interior is revealed. A walnut rack is stowed within, housing eight pewter cups. This can be removed to distribute the cups, which are conveniently engraved with the numbers one to eight referencing the guns pegs or places in the lineåt the start of the day. Also contained within are two lead crystal, etched decanters with engravable silver hallmarked plaques set in rosewood for sloe gin, brandy or any other spirits taken to enhance the day. And finally a walnut compartment to hold 8 cigars with an inbuilt cigar cutter. These sit compactly between the decanters and the pewter cups, the finishing touch to a sporting ensemble.
the sterling silver plaques on the top of the decanters and the case are edinburgh made, i have never in all my years of collecting came across edinburgh silver before.
the condition is pretty much perfect, the only small sign of use i can see are on one or two of the pewter cups with have some small knocks, otherwise the set looks basically new
