A striking British Art Deco chrome-plated travel salt and pepper shaker, marked PATENT PENDING and Registered Design RD 860510, dating it confidently to the early 1930s - 6.8cm tall.
This cleverly engineered double-ended design features two screw-off perforated caps, each serving its own internal chamber — a superb example of compact, functional Deco-era travelware.
The stepped architectural form, crisp angles and engine-turned geometric decoration reflect the clean, modernist aesthetic that defined the early 20th century. The red internal liners remain intact, and the shaker is presented with its original printed card box — a rare survival.
Beautiful both as a functional item and as a sculptural collector’s piece for a period kitchen, bar cart or Deco display.
