Exceptionally Fine George III Drinks Salver, London, 1781, Wakelin & Taylor

About the Item

This exceptionally fine George III antique sterling silver Salver was made in London in 1781 by the Royal Silversmiths, Wakelin & Taylor. The Salver is of an unusual size and is oval in form. The raised border is beautifully decorated with flat fluting and the rim with beading. This combination was widely used in the designs of Wakelin & Taylor. The Salver stands on four cast, fluted, legs with ball feet. The centre of the Salver is engraved with a contemporary shield shaped Armorial, with Crest and Motto "Sine Tremore" above, all engraved in the Scottish manner. The Salver is in excellent condition and is of the finest quality as would be expected from these silversmiths who were patronised by King George III and his son, the Prince of Wales, later King George IV. This salver would be ideal for serving drinks or standing a decanter and glasses on. The Arms, Motto and Crest are those of Galbraith, a Scottish family originating, apparently, in Dunbartonshire. The inescutcheon of pretence depicts the Arms of Parker. Measures: Length: 16 inches, 40cm. Width: 11.75 inches, 2938cm. Weight: 41oz.

    By Robert Hennell
    Located in London, GB
    This extremely rare and fine garniture of George III neo classical baskets were made in London in 1778 by Philip Freeman. The Baskets all stand on a square pedestal foot which is pierced with horizontal pails and roundels, as well as being engraved with prick dot designs. The Classical vase shaped main bodies are also pierced with horizontal pails and roundels and the front of each piece displays a disc cartouche engraved with a contemporary Crest. The rim and swing handle, instead of being decorated with beading, are unusually engraved with various prick dot and bright cut bands, including stylised flower heads. Each basket is in excellent condition, has a blue glass liner and is fully marked in the foot. The baskets are of a very rare decorative design and Philip Freeman was known for producing unusual baskets and pails, although his work does not survive in great quantity. These are also unusual in that they stand on a pierced foot, echoing the designs on the main body. The smaller baskets would have been used for cream and the larger ones for sugar, however it is extremely rare to find a garniture. They are almost always found singly or in pairs, in sizes. A very rare Classical garniture of outstanding quality. Measures: Height of the sugar basket, to the rim: 5.4 inches, 13.5cm. Height of the cream basket...
