Offered is a beautiful sterling silver toast rack designed with a polo theme. The rack is made up of seven sets of interlocking polo mallets, with a ring handle. The feet of the toast rack are designed as polo balls, to complete the theme.
A piece of English history, the toast rack was a staple of any proper table setting. “Dry toast may be made before it is wanted, and should be set up in the toast-rack the moment it is done,” writes A.M. Sargeant in the 1851 The Housemaid's Complete Guide.
