Quality Silver - Sensible Prices

We are offering for sale a superb Georgian silver sugar caster made by Samuel Wood, the premier maker of casters during this period.

The stylish, vase-shaped body is typical of the 1730's and the pull-off cover is expertly pierced and engraved to give a fine example of a George II period sugar caster. The underside of the base is stamped with a full set of hallmarks with matching part marks to the cover. This silver sugar caster remains free from personalised engraving and is in excellent condition with a nice antique patina.

Samuel Wood was a specialist caster maker who was apprenticed in 1721 to Thomas Bamford - another caster maker. Wood entered his first mark at Goldsmiths Hall in 1733 and was responsible for the best quality casters through the mid-18th century.

Please view our specialist site for a further large selection of fine quality Victorian, Georgian and earlier silver.
