A silent servant of times gone by - Antique ash pan from Poole Silver & Co.
This elegant antique ash pan, also known as a ‘silent servant’, takes you back to the smoke-filled atmosphere of the early 20th century. Manufactured by Poole Silver & Co. in Taunton, Massachusetts, USA, it combines functionality and artistic design. The transverse oval shape with hinged lid and thumb rest invites stylish handling, while the wooden handle offers warmth and comfort.
The silver rim is decorated with a filigree relief frieze, giving the pan a decorative touch. The engraved, rising lion on the lid is particularly impressive - a proud symbol of the manufacturer that makes this ash pan a collector's item steeped in history.
Although the handle shows slight signs of time, the silver-plated pan itself is in excellent condition. Whether as a decorative piece or a practical accessory, this ash pan tells the story of an era in which elegance and utility formed a harmonious whole. A real eye-catcher with historical charm!
