A very fine George III Pocket Nutmeg Grater made in London in 1785 by William Key

The Nutmeg Grater is oval in form and is decorated on the sides and cover with various crisp bright cut designs. The cover displays a central cartouche engraved with contemporary script initials, surrounded by a sunburst motif. The base is beautifully engraved with the same bright cut bands, as well as flower heads and Ex Dono above the script initials ES. The Nutmeg Grater is of the finest quality and is in excellent condition
