Bottle Holder Syphon by Walker & Hall England – c. Early 1900s

An extraordinary silver-plated bottle syphon holder from Walker & Hall, dating to the early 1900s. Defined by its solid body, scalloped rim, and decorative scroll handles, this piece was designed to cradle glass syphons or wine bottles at the ready—adding both drama and ceremony to the service. The proportions are commanding, while the craftsmanship reflects the Sheffield tradition that Walker & Hall helped define. Rare and striking, it speaks to a time when even utility objects were elevated through ornament and elegance.
