18th century

Sold by The Fancy Fox

Description

An attractive set of George III silver trencher salts of typical octagonal form, with stepped waisted sides and gilt wash interior. One is hallmarked for London 1769, makers David Hennell I & Robert Hennell I, and the other for London 1772, maker Thomas Shepherd.

They measure 8cm (3 1/8") long, 6.5cm (2 1/2") wide and 3.5cm (1 3/8") high. They weigh combined 182g/5.9ozt.

Condition is very good but they have both had a small professsional repair. The Hennell one there is evidence of work to the rim on one side and the Shepherd one has a repair to the inside of the bowl on one corner. On the opposing side of this salt, there is a small convex dimple like a reversed dent and a little scuffing so this may also be a small repair or just a knock; I can't tell for certain. No current damage, surface wear is light and the hallmarks are all pretty clear.
