London 1813 Lovely Georgian Period Solid Silver Tea Service, Made by Solomon Hougham.

19th century
Description

London 1813 beautiful English hallmarked solid silver George III period three piece tea service of oblong bellied form, all with matching hallmarks, made by Solomon Hougham, silversmith and goldsmith, of Aldersgate, London. He lived 1746-1818.

All three pieces are beautifully decorated with feathered engraving, as well as foliate repousse decoration (including spout and handle, most unusually), making a very stylish and elegant statement for the table.

All pieces also have cast and applied leafy rims and stand on ball feet.

There are two very delicately scripted initials on each piece.

The teapot has a beautifully shaped silver handle with ivory heat spacers, as well as a large oblong pretty silver finial.

The sugar bowl is supported by twin handles with upturned thumb rests.

The jug has the same style handle.

Both the sugar bowl and milk jug have the original gilt linings.

This is a large sized tea service:

The teapot measures 11 inches long by 6.5 inches high; the sugar bowl is 8 inches long by 4.5 inches high; the jug is 5.5 inches long by 4 inches high.

Weight-the three pieces weigh 1120 grams of silver or 36 troy ounces together.

In very good condition, this is a really lovely tea service, and nearly 200 years old!

Please note that the silver tray shown for demonstration purposes in one photo was listed separately and has now been sold.

Declaration

Serpentine Antiques has dated this piece to the 1800s.
