Each end of the toast rack depicts the elegant Hoopoe Bird, either perched on a branch or wing unfurled in flight. The detail is embossed using the technique of Chasing and Repoussé, where the sheet silver is tap-taped with hammer and steel punches for hours, whilst embedded in a bowl of pine pitch.
The toast rack folds 4 slices of toast but would also work well as a letter rack.
Chased silver
