Decoration to the bowl includes an image of Lord Nelson in his Naval uniform encircled by a wreath, Lord's Nelson's ship encircled by a wreath and inscription reading "Lord Nelson/H.M.S. Victory". Additional inscription to the foot reads "October 21st, 1805/Trafalgar". 11" H x 8" dia. Circa 1805. Provenance: a Middle Tennessee estate, by descent from Thomas G.B. Wheelock. Note: Thomas G.B. Wheelock was known as an astute collector of African Art and co-author of the book "Land of the Flying Masks: Art & Culture in Burkina Faso". He also inherited a sizeable collection of Asian, British, and military related antiques from his grandparents, Gilded Age tycoon George Briggs Buchanan of New York, and William and Margaret Wheelock, who owned a Scottish manor home known as Bunker Hill. (Margaret Carmichael Wheelock was also a founding partner of the fashion firm Farquharson & Wheelock in New York).
