This Victorian-era coffee pot dates to the mid-to-late 19th century, around 1854-1890. It features quadruple silver plating over a base metal with elaborate floral and foliate embossing typical of the ornate Victorian aesthetic popular during this period. Silver-plated coffee pots like this were prestigious items in middle and upper-class Victorian households, used for formal entertaining and as status symbols. Collectors of Victorian silver plate and antique coffee services particularly value these pieces for their craftsmanship, decorative elements, and connection to 19th-century dining customs.
