Quality Silver - Sensible Prices
We are offering for sale this fabulous pair of Georgian silver serving dishes, made by the top silversmith Richard Sibley and retailed in London by Makepeace,
Each dish measures almost 18" in length and would be ideal for serving a roasted joint or lavish spread of cold food. With their shaped gadroon border, they are a typical Regency style and just ooze high quality and bear an interesting pair of engraved crests to one side and an armorial to the other. The combined weight of the dishes is a satisfying 108 troy ounces. Both meat dishes are in excellent condition with crisp engraving and typical carving knife scratches to the centre. The armorial to the border relates to the marriage in 1825 of Sir William Pilkington of Chevet, 8th Baronet (1775-1850) & Mary Swinnerton (1783-1854) of Butterton Hall in Staffordshire. To the opposite border is an engraved double crest in combination with the motto "Avauncez et Archez Bien" (translates to "advance and shoot well").
