Toast rack, 1878, British, Silver-plated metal, Overall (confirmed): 5 5/16 × 4 3/8 × 3 1/4 in. ( × × cm), Metalwork-Silverplate, In a career beginning in the early 1850s and spanning fifty years, Dresser designed goods including wallpaper, glass, carpets, furniture, ironwork and pottery for at least fifty manufacturers. Many of his designs can fairly readily be placed in the context of the orientalizing and historicizing taste of the day, but his metalwork designs stand out as almost impossibly austere for the high Victorian era
