Silver & Plated Ware
Welcome to our winter sale of silver and plated ware, which includes
over 700 lots featuring Georgian, Victorian and modern silverware.
Our first highlight in this sale is a silver basting spoon by renowned
silversmith Paul de Lamerie (Lot 443). Paul de Lamerie is cited as
?the greatest silversmith working in England in the 18th century? by
the V&A museum, who house several notable pieces by the maker.
Son of a Huguenot, de Lamerie emigrated to England in the early
years of his life and studied under the London goldsmith Pierre Platel.
Although a more modest piece from de Lamerie?s extensive body of
work, Lot 443 is definitely one for the astute collector.
We have several other Georgian silver items by collectable names such
as a pair of silver candlesticks by John Cafe (Lot 96) and two pairs of
waiters by Ebenezer Coker and Elizabeth Cooke (Lots 4 & 25).
The auction also encompasses several key pieces of Chinese export
silver: Lot 351 is a wonderfully eclectic set of fish servers; we have
an ornately designed Chinese salver as Lot 381, together with many
quirky smaller lots. Also in this section we have a beautiful Indian dish
by Hamilton & Co., thought to have been used as a caviar dish in the
Bengal Native Infantry mess and would add a touch of finery to any
supper table (Lot 358).
Finally, with the festive season soon upon us we are pleased to be
offering over 200 novelties which would be perfect stocking fillers:
A charming Sampson Mordan ivory combination snuff (Lot 704) for
example; Or perhaps some well-crafted items for a luxurious Christmas
lunch, we would suggest Lot 571, a set of Garrard & Co silver corn cob
holders, or even a handsome pair of silver table birds (Lot 284).
