c.1904 Six-Person Fold-Fronted Picnic Set

Please note that one of the glasses has a 2mm chip on the rim

Complete with a fine set of two centrally mounted rare nickel kettles, both with intricately woven wicker handles, with burners and burner stand, all exactly as found. They are able to be moved into a pouring position for ease of handling. To the rear of the basket are two substantial heavy glass drinking bottles with matching nickel stoppers, two stacking sandwich boxes and an unusual ceramic butter pot whose lid is held in place with leather strap. In the lid is a full set of 1904 cutlery, attractively held in place within the lid with leather straps. There is a stacking set of nickel drinking beakers, six fine bone china cups with gilt edges held in a wire-support framework and china saucers held in leather straps on the fold-down front section. The lid is held with a central lock on leather strap with sturdy twin leather carrying straps with brass buckles and robust leather carrying handle.

An excellent, useable, highly impressive picnic set for fine alfresco dining or to gain valuable points at an automobile concours event such as Pebble Beach, Lake Como, Greenwich, Salon Prive, Amelia Island or indeed the London Concours.
