Georgian Silver Basket by Peter Archambo
About the Item
Silver Basket
Peter Archambo
Hallmarked London, 1740
This stunning George II silver basket is a remarkable example of the artistry and craftsmanship of Peter Archambo, a renowned Huguenot silversmith. Archambo, born in England to Huguenot refugees from France, was instrumental in introducing the Rococo style to England. His work is known for its intricate design elements, such as strap work, cut card work and cast and applied ornaments. This basket exemplifies his signature French influence, with its exquisite pierced apron featuring foliate scrolls, Ceres masks and Rococo cartouches. The beautifully engraved coat of arms and inscriptions add historical significance, highlighting the basket’s connection to the Fenwick family.
The basket's body is shaped in an elegant oval form, raised on four grotesque mask feet and features pierced sides adorned with scrolls, diaperwork and vine tendrils, all framing female masks. The swing handle, with its female bust terminal, is further enhanced with chased Rococo motifs. The center is engraved with a cartouche displaying the finely detailed coat of arms of Fenwick impaling another, likely Colville, for Robert Fenwick and his wife Jane, daughter of Edward Colville of Whitehouse, widow of Charles Clerk of Newcastle and sister of Camilla, Countess of Tankerville, whom he married in 1739. The underside bears a later inscription reading "Ex Dono Robertus Fenwick Arm February 1759," denoting its gift from Robert Fenwick to a recipient in 1759.
