Matched Pair George III Sterling Silver Lemon Strainers, David Hennell, London

18th century
Description

A handsome matched pair of George III sterling silver lemon strainers by David Hennell of London, individually hallmarked 1760 and 1761. Of identical form, pattern and size, the two were made within months of one another by the same distinguished maker and are presented together as a pair.

Each strainer is of circular twin-handled form, the deep bowl finely pierced with a radiating star-and-rosette pattern of drilled apertures within a reeded rim, flanked by a pair of flat, pierced scrolling openwork handles. Designed to rest across the rim of a punch bowl or goblet.

The two strainers carry their original 18th-century owners' engraving: one bowl is engraved to each side with an armorial crest, while the other bears a contemporary triangular marriage cipher ("I·W·S"), reflecting their separate early ownership before being brought together as a pair.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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.

This matched pair of George III sterling silver lemon strainers, made in London by David Hennell and individually hallmarked in 1760 and 1761, exhibits a circular twin-handled form with a polished silver finish. Each deep bowl has a reeded rim and contains a radiating star-and-rosette pattern of pierced, drilled apertures, flanked by flat scrolling openwork handles with carved details. The surfaces display subtle variations in light reflection and faint historical surface wear. One bowl features engraved armorial crests to each side, while the other shows a contemporary triangular marriage cipher. Measuring 2 cm high, 19.6 cm wide, and 10 cm deep, these functional tableware items are originally designed to rest across the rim of a punch bowl or goblet. In a modern interior, they suit placement on a dining room sideboard top as decorative display pieces or serving accessories.

FAQs

Lemon strainers were introduced in the 18th century primarily to strain seeds and pulp from citrus fruits when making punch or tea, serving as essential accessories in Georgian entertaining.

These items were crafted from sterling silver, composed of 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper, featuring hand-pierced bowl motifs and cast scroll handles soldered to the rim.

Authenticity is verified through official British hallmark impressions, including the lion passant for sterling quality, the makers mark, town mark, date letter, and the monarchs head duty mark.

Display these items flat on a dining room sideboard top, arranged within a shallow decorative tray, or mounted inside a glass cabinet to highlight the metalwork.

Wash with warm water and mild liquid soap, dry thoroughly, and apply non-abrasive silver polish using a soft cotton cloth to clean oxidisation without wearing down hallmarks.
