The cinquefoil frame rests gracefully on five shell feet, supporting a baluster stem with a scroll handle and an applied rococo cartouche at the front.

The design is thoroughly Rococo, with its elegant scrolls, asymmetrical curves and intricate detailing throughout the frame, baluster stem and casters.
Samuel Wood, active in London during the mid-18th century, was known for his exceptional mastery of silverwork. His work on Warwick-style cruets, inspired by the original 1715 example by Anthony Nelme for the 1st Earl of Warwick, exemplifies the continuation and evolution of this celebrated English form.
