Antique Georgian Silver Tobacco Box / Snuff Coat of Arms - James Phipps c.1770
About the Item
We are delighted to offer this Georgian solid silver tobacco/snuff box with the marks of James Phipps I (London) c.1770.
The box is of circular form with a single hinged lid and is well crafted with a sturdy gauge of silver.
The top lid features a hand-engraved coat of arms of two families, most likely engraved to celebrate either marriages or partnerships between two families.
The box has a fine minimalist elegance to its overall aesthetic design with a lovely patina and antique colouration.
Such boxes would have originally been used to store loose tobacco leaves (for pipes) or snuff however, in the modern day, it may also be used practically for carrying pills, mints or small items on the go in a distinguished and stylish manner and bound to be a conversation starter for the keen-eyed.
The box is only hallmarked with the maker's mark 'I.P' for James Phipps I of London.
A wonderful classic Georgian piece of silverware remaining in excellent antique condition despite being over 200 years old.

- Antique Solid Silver Pair of Georgian Large Ladles, Sutherland Crest 1784/5Located in London, GBWe are delighted to have acquired and be able to offer this pair of solid silver Georgian ladles, one made by Thomas Northcote & the other George Smith, London 1784/5. The pair is crafted with a classic minimalist Georgian design allowing for the large proportions and quality to aptly present its unembellished beauty. An additional feature of this pair is the rare 'Incuse' duty hallmark present on the rear side of the ladle's handles. This mark was only used during the short span of 1784-5 resulting in such marks being collectable in their own rights. Noteworthy crests are present on the ends of the handle with those bearing the crest of the Sutherland clan. The crest presents a 'wolf passant collared and chained' with the Order of the Garter surrounding it, 'Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense' and a coronet at the top. The pair were eventually discovered at Dunrobin Castle which is situated in Sutherland (Highland area of Scottland), and was/is a very ornate and extravagant castle that is still standing today. During the period these ladles were made, the 1st Duke of Sutherland, George Granville Leveson-Gower's ownerships of extensive land towards the latter part of his life eventually resulted in him being one of the wealthiest individuals in Britain to such an extent that titles and speculation such as "The Leviathan...Category
