A rare George III 'Lyre' Toast Rack made in London in 1796 by Naphthali Hart..

The Toast Rack stands on an oval platform base with four reeded panel feet. The reeded main body is unusually modelled as a lyre, with six divisions for the toast. This example has a circular carrying handle, with a Crest and contemporary initials engraved below. This design is seldom seen and is very rare. The toast rack is fully marked under the base.
