The stopper is cork with silver mounts at either end. There are a slightly clumsy pair of initials on the neck of the ewer. Benvenuto Cellini was an 16th century Italian goldsmith and silversmith and an important artist of the Mannerist period.

A stunning piece.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

The Cellini pattern originated in 19th-century Britain during the Renaissance Revival movement. Inspired by the elaborate metalwork attributed to 16th-century Italian sculptor Benvenuto Cellini, Victorian silversmiths reproduced these classical designs featuring heavy repousse chasing, grotesque masks, fauna, and intricate strapwork.

Antique ewers of this style were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or high-grade silver alloys. The intricate detailing was produced using hand-repousse and chasing techniques, where the metal is hammered from the interior and detailed from the exterior, often finished with cast components like handles and pedestal feet.

Authenticity can be verified by checking for official silver hallmarks, which usually include a makers mark, town mark, standard mark (such as the lion passant for sterling silver), and a date letter. Genuine pieces exhibit crisp, hand-finished relief carving and balanced proportions around the handle and neck.

An antique silver ewer functions effectively as a sculptural focal point on a dining room sideboard, marble console, or within a glass display cabinet. It can be displayed independently or alongside clear crystal decanters to contrast dark wood finishes or modern metallic accents.

Solid silver should be cleaned regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and polished periodically using specialized silver foam or paste to remove oxidisation. Avoid abrasive polishes or dishwashers, and store silver items in low-humidity environments wrapped in anti-tarnish cloth to prevent tarnishing.
