An exceptional, fine and impressive pair of antique Georgian English Britannia silver salvers made by Paul de Lamerie; an addition to our tray and salver collection.
These exceptional antique George II Britannia standard silver salvers have a square shaped form with incurved corners.
The surface of each salver retains the contemporary engraved coat of arms displaying a saltire charged with a rose of the field, barbed and seeded**.
These heraldic markings are accented with two opposing demi-figures and conjoined via a garland with a central mask motif to the nadir.
Each salver is further ornamented with a paralleling engraved strapwork style border, incorporating scrolling leaf designs and an individual portrait illustration to each corner, all encompassed with a lattice-work pattern.
The raised rounded borders are plain and embellished with an applied moulded decoration to the rim.
The 18th century silver salvers are each supported by four fine and impressive cast shaped bracket style feet.
