Description

An expectional and important set of Old Sheffield Plated Communion ware, comprising of two large statuesque flagons, six ornate plates and six goblets with gilded interiors within a custom made silver chest. All are marked for the Open Hand mark of maker Padley Parkin & Co and dating to c1840. The flagons are faintly seamed under the handles.

All pieces are engraved for the commemoration of the fire at Great George Street Chapel in Liverpool in 1840 on inlaid silver cartouches to the plates and flagons. An historically interesting piece.

The box has a beautiful brass plaque to the lid for Great George Street Chapel and has a solid working lock with a key. With fine brass handles to the sides.

The condition is very good overall with no splits and very little wear to the plating. One plate has a small ding to its bowl and there is one small dent to the handle on one of the flagons. One flagon has had a strengthening screw inserted to hold the finial - see photo. The flagons have very clean interiors. A couple of very small instances of copper bleed to a couple of the pieces but these are hardly noticeable. One flagon has a slight wobble, but overall the set is in wonderful condition.

The box interior is a bit worn to the linings but all pieces are supplied with individual felt bags (not pictured). Slight wear around the lock.

Goblet - Height approx 23.5cm. Diameter at rim approx 11.5cm.

Platter - Diameter approx 24.5cm.
