Description

This fabulous spot-hammered Arts & Craft sterling silver dish was made by the Master silversmith Robert Edgar Stone* and is dated London 1934. The shallow spot-hammered oval bowl with a slightly scalloped rim and flanked by a pair of very distinctive handles in the form of stylised crowns. The piece was produced in the year of the Jubilee which explains such a design. It has a very good silver gauge.

*Robert Edgar Stone known professionally as R.E. Stone was an English silversmith and was the son of a carpenter. Born in 1903, he was famous for its handcrafted style and the work he produced for several notable clients. Stone trained at the Central School of Arts in London. During his time with the school, he enjoyed a scholarship from the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. This enabled him to travel through Europe and also train in Paris. He founded his own workshop in 1929. Stone’s work is distinctive for being completely handmade, even during eras when similar works were being mass-produced.
