Toast rack
Hukin & Heath|Christopher Dresser
1879 · Silver plate · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
Although this sophisticated toast rack has not been traced to a particular design by Dresser, it is typical of the simplistic yet inventive racks produced for him by the firm Hukin and Heath. Founded in 1855, this Birmingham-based silversmith and electroplating manufactory hired Dresser as an art advisor around 1878.
