Description
Edwardian Sterling Silver and Cut Glass Yachting Trophy Banquet Lamp, hallmarked Sheffield, 1902-1903, by William Latham & Sons, the sterling "candlestick" standard in the form of a spiraled Corinthian column above a stepped and beaded base, surmounted by a flattened oval "Russian"-cut glass font, the base decorated with applied enamel yachting colors and inscription "First Prize for 25 Footers / Won by "Fodhla" His Excellency Lord Lieutenant / The Edward Yacht Club / 11th July 1903", sterling base, h. 15-1/2", w. 5-7/8", overall, h. 24-3/4", dia. 6-1/2", weighted and electrified. The Fodhla was built in 1903 by noted Irish boatwright James Edward Doyle (1848-1910) for William Humble Ward, 2nd Earl of Dudley (1867-1932) during the latter's 1902-1905 tenure as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The famous twenty-five footer was moored at the Dublin Bay Sailing Club. Upon his departure as Viceroy in Ireland in 1905, he made a present of the yacht to its crew.
