About the Item
William Wordsworth Interest. An Important Set of Four George II Fruit Bowls and Stands Made in London in 1751/52 by Samuel Herbert & Co.
To find a single fruit bowl and stand, from this period, is very unusual, however to find a set of four is highly important and of museum rarity. As you will see from the images, the Dishes are of typical design, with raised fluted sides and a scalloped rim. The centre is very finely engraved with a contemporary Armorial surrounded by a foliate spray and shell detail cartouche. The underside is engraved with a second Crest, below a Baron's Coronet, which is that as used by a successive owner. The bowls each stand on a cast and applied spreading foot and the main bodies also have fluted sides, rising to a scalloped rim. Each has two side scroll handles and the front is engraved with the same contemporary Armorial, as seen on the dish. The Dishes and Bowls are of an exceptional weight and gauge and have a most outstanding colour. All pieces are in quite excellent condition.
Although termed fruit bowls, they were often used for a variety of purposes. Some old inventories refer to dishes and bowls of this type as ""salad bowls and dishes"". Samuel Herbert & Company were prolific silversmiths who specialised in the production of pierced items particularly baskets and some epergnes. They had workshops in Aldersgate Street when these exceptional pieces were made.
