Christopher Buck Antiques Ltd. has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
These pieces are usually easy for an expert to spot as in almost every case, the maker tries to be too clever and embellish the design with his own interpretations. This one however is a rather rare exception, as every single aspect seems to conform faithfully to what one would expect in the early 18th century.
A genuine George I or George II version would be exceptionally rare. This one becomes so desirable as even a highly experience connoisseur would need to look underneath to spot the difference!
