About the Item

Set of four Georgian Chinoiserie decorated master salts by John Edward Terrey & Co., London. They are hallmarked 1825-1829. The inside of each is lightly gilded and each has a small armorial engraved on the side. The main bodies are heavily chased with garlands of flowers and Chinese chinoiserie garden scenes of Chinamen dressed in oriental costumes; a figure under the shade of a parasol smoking an opium pipe, another mounted on a horse crossing a bridge, a third figure in a garden with a Chinese pheasant perched on a farming tool. This decoration can be seen on other silver pieces produced by this firm. Chinoiserie decoration of this quality is very rare and typical of the popularity of everything Oriental being collected in this period. The armorial is inscribed "Salus In Fide," below a gloved hand holding a cross, "Reliance In Faith." Terrey registered his trade mark with his partner Samuel Hennell in 1814, and his own mark in 1816. He is still documented as a silversmith in Hatton Garden in 1841. In 1851 he moved to Sydenham, Lewisham in Kent. According to the ‘England & Wales Deaths Index’ he lived until 1859. The Metropolitan Museum has a teapot by Terrey with similar chinoiserie decoration Accession Number: 1998.459 (last photo). Total weight 582.8g. N.P. Trent has been a respected name in antiques for over 30 years with a large collection of period furniture, art and decorative accessories.
