Silver and Objects of Vertu
The spring silver sale offers a fantastic selection of non-European silver, from across India, Burma, Cambodia, Japan, and China. The depth of workmanship to be found from these countries and more demonstrates the intricate and skilled methods for working the surface of the metal from the Cambodian toks to the high purity double walled Japanese Iris pattern wares. One of the more fascinating items is an Indian bowl from Poona mounted to a Burmese silver figural stand, the first time such a combination has been noted, illuminating a rare movement between the two schools of work and the people who owned them.
Silver of global Royalty is found from Prince Albert, Emperor Haile Selassie, Emperor Wilhelm II, and Maharaja Sir Duleep Singh. British silver covers the most interesting areas with well-proportioned examples from Thomas Heming, Barnard, Richard Sibley, Wakelin, Garrard, and Benjamin Smith, among others. Collectors and designers alike can enhance their displays with shapely pieces that separate themselves from more routine examples in this great opportunity to develop the connoisseur?s eye as well as the decorator?s repertoire.
