This George I sterling silver loving cup dates from the 18th century and is made in London. The piece stands on a moulded circular pedestal foot and comes with twin cast scroll handles attached to the sides. A raised moulded girdle encircles the upper body, set below an engraved central roundel cartouche and detailed chased decoration around the rim. The silver finish displays a polished metallic shine with minor natural surface tarnish indicating age. Measuring 12 cm high by 20 cm across the handles, the cup sits well on a dining room sideboard or a side table in a traditional interior. It serves as a decorative display object or a formal tabletop accessory in a living space or study.

FAQs

A George I two-handled silver cup is a ceremonial or domestic drinking vessel crafted during the reign of King George I (17141727). These cups, often termed loving cups or porringers, feature twin handles for passing between guests and typically showcase the refined, unpretentious proportions characteristic of early 18th-century English silver craft.

These vessels were hand-hammered from raised sheets of high-purity sterling silver or Britannia standard silver (95.8% purity). Decorative elements, such as moulded girdles, gadrooning, and cast scroll handles, were soldered onto the raised body before being finished with hand-chasing or engraving.

Authentic pieces carry a set of British hallmarks stamped into the metal, including a makers mark, date letter, town mark (such as the London leopards head), and purity mark (the lion passant for sterling or the seated Britannia figure for high-standard silver). Authenticity is also indicated by hand-hammering marks, period-appropriate weight, and characteristic wear around handles and bases.

An antique silver cup functions well as a decorative focal point on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or styled bookshelf. Designers often display silver hollowware individually or grouped with contrasting textures, such as natural timber or matte ceramic, to highlight the reflective patina of polished metal.

Clean the silver periodically using a soft cotton cloth and a non-abrasive silver cream or polish formulated for antique metalwork. Avoid harsh chemical dips or dishwasher cleaning, which can strip historic patination from crevices and damage cast components.
