Antique Georgian Solid Silver Mug Cup With Chased Laurel Leaves - London C.1800s

£550    $685    €661
We are delighted to offer this beautiful and unusual Georgian solid silver mug cup made in London c.1820.
 
This mug is a wonderful example of a modestly sized yet exquisite quality piece of Georgian silverware which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical. The mug features a wonderful hand-chased and stippled laurel leaf motif spreading from the base towards the top which creates a most beautiful contrast with the plain finishing of the other areas.
 
The handle features further ornate foliate scrolling and chased decorations. The interior is gilt (gold on top of solid silver) which protects the silver from tarnishing, especially with content that may be held within. As such the mug can be used practically even today as a wonderful way to enjoy a drink in the most opulent fashion.
 
Such a combination of opulence and fine silver artistry makes this mug not only a practical piece of silverware but a highly complimentary one to interior settings. Whether as a single accenting piece or amongst antique decor, this may just be the perfect piece to highlight and elevate the ambience of an interior.
 
Overall, a very impressive and opulent mug ideal for collections or for practical usage. Whether be it as a treat for yourself or as a gift for someone special, this mug certainly is a unique and fine example of a Georgian silver mug.
 
The mug is hallmarked with full English marks on the side however is worn and the maker''s mark and date letter are indistinct.
