First recorded in the late 1770’s, silver toast racks started being widely used on breakfast tables during the 1780’s as dining habits became more refined. Since then the silver toast rack has never gone out of fashion, and each period has seen new designs produced in keeping with popular styles of the time. Ingenious examples such as expanding toast racks, novelty and unique designs, and pieces made by collectible silversmiths are highly sought after.
