A very fine William IV Pocket Nutmeg Grater made in Birmingham in 1836 by Joseph Willmore.
The Nutmeg Grater is of a large size, with reeded rounded sides.
The hinged cover is engraved with very unusual pluming foliate scroll designs, on a scratch engraved ground, all surrounding a rectangular cartouche engraved with contemporary script initials.
The base displays a foliate spray and central flower head, contained within a wriggle work and prick dot frame.
The interior opens up to reveal a hinged, silver rimmed, steel grater.
This unusual piece is in excellent condition and is very well marked on both the inside of the cover and base.
