Antique Silver Model of the Warwick Vase

About the Item

A Solid Silver model of the Warwick Vase, London Hallmarked, By Barnard & Co An accurate and detailed reduction of the original Roman vase, weighing 64 ounces, Hallmark dated to 1902, Leopard Head London, and the marker’s mark. LITERATURE Barnard & Company The company has the longest continuous trading record of all English silversmiths, Anthony Nelme (d.1722) established his silversmithing firm at Ave Maria Lane, London, ca.1680. His son, Francis Nelme, took over the business on his death in 1722 and continued to run it until 1739 when Thomas Whipham (d.1756) took over. On his death his son Thomas Whipham went into partnership with Charles Wright. In 1775 Whipham withdrew from the business and in 1786 Charles Wright amalgamated the firm with neighbouring silversmith Thomas Chawner and his son Henry Chawner. Thomas Chawner was the master of Edward Barnard (d.1855) and on the amalgamation Edward Barnard became the foreman of the company. In 1796 Chawner took an engraver, John Emes, into partnership and when he retired Emes became the sole owner and Edward Barnard became the firm's manager. On Emes' death in 1808 Edward Barnard went into partnership with the widowed Rebecca Emes and Henry Chawner who acted as a sleeping partner. The firm traded as Emes & Barnard. Rebecca Emes withdrew from the business in 1829 and Edward Barnard became the proprietor together with his sons Edward Barnard (d.1868), John Barnard and William Barnard (d.1851). The company's clients included Elkington & Company Ltd, Garrard & Co. Ltd and the Goldsmiths' Company. Edward Barnard & Sons became a limited company in 1910. From 1914 to 1924 the company also owned a factory in Northampton Street, Birmingham. In 1919 the company moved its London premises temporarily to Stonecutter Street, Farringdon Road before moving to Hatton Garden in 1920 where it has remained to date. In 1977 Edward Barnard & Sons Ltd became a subsidiary of Padgett & Braham Ltd, and continues to trade to the present day. PROVENANCE The Warwick Vase The vase was discovered in 1771, at the ruins of Hadrian's Villa near Tivoli, its restoration being ordered by Sir William Hamilton, husband of Emma Hamilton, Lord Nelson’s mistress, and it passed into the collection of his nephew, George Greville 2nd Earl of Warwick. Copies after it and derivations from it appeared throughout the nineteenth century including a version in silver by Paul Storr. The Roman vase is on display at Warwick Castle.
