Description
Pair of Late George III Sterling Silver Toast Racks, hallmarked London, 1809-1810, by William Burwash and Richard Sibley (fl. 1805-1812), each of rectangular form with gadrooned rim and rocaille corners, each with seven double-arched partitions, the center with a reeded ring handle en suite, the whole raised on scroll-crested lion's paw feet, engraved on the rim with the crest and motto of Campbell of Lawres et al., h. 6", l. 7-1/2", w. 5", 31.87 total t. oz.
Condition
Overall Condition: Good. Silver solder repairs to the central separator on both pieces, at the base ends and the finial, indicating repairs to both; a few of the base ends of other separators have similarly been tacked back down. Otherwise fine, with no condition issues other than the expected signs of wear commensurate with age. Crest well-engraved; worn but legible. Hallmarked (on the underside edge of each) with: 1) the sterling lion passant; 2) the London crowned leopard's head; 3) the date letter "P" for 1809-1810; 4) the George III bust duty mark; and 5) the "W.B/R.S" maker's mark of Burwash & Sibley [Grimwade 3050]. Marks very nice and clean.
