EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of Christmas past with this enchanting advertisement from the Illustrated London News in 1888, showcasing a delightful selection of artistic and useful presents from Mappin & Webb. The Victorian era was known for its love of intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail, and this advertisement is no exception. The centerpiece of the advertisement is a stunning array of sterling silver items, including escallop-shaped butter knives and shell-shaped spoons, each one meticulously crafted to add elegance and charm to any table setting. The Corinthian candlesticks, with their electro-plated finish and ornate designs, would have made a perfect addition to any Victorian home. But Mappin & Webb offered more than just silverware. Their Christmas selection also included a variety of items for the kitchen and dining room, such as sugar bowls, egg holders, and scuttles, all adorned with intricate designs and available in a range of prices to suit all budgets. The advertisement also showcases a selection of china cups and saucers, with delicate floral designs and scalloped edges, as well as crumb scoops and coffee pots, perfect for the hostess who took pride in her hospitality. And for the gentleman of the house, there were practical items such as tongs and a toast rack, all designed with the same level of care and craftsmanship. This advertisement is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Christmas giving in the late 1800s. It reminds us of the joy and excitement of giving and receiving thoughtful, well-crafted gifts, a tradition that continues to this day.
