Silver & Objects of Vertu
Lots: 450
The summer silver sale at Chiswick Auctions contains some precious and captivating expressions that single out the silver department as one of the most prominent nationwide. The strength of the non-European section can be summarized through a group of spouted wares; a dragon handled tea service from Yokohama, a truly rare example of a Burmese service replete with kettle, a fantastic elephant handled service by the master of all Indian silversmithing Oomersi Mawji, a set never before seen on the market, and perhaps most appealing of all - a Thai silver gilt and niello water pot (Ka Nam). These rarified pieces of Thai silver work have a close association with the Royal court and are represented in major institutions worldwide; this example being presented to the open market for the first time since its purchase as base metal in the 1980’s.
British silver is best showcased by a breathtakingly singular example of 19th century naturalism, a gourd form tea caddy or biscuit box of 1843 by Benjamin Smith, demonstrating publication worthy detail across the surface. Other such rare items include a Victorian scale model of a violin, one of the largest of Omar Ramsden’s mazer bowls, which he likely worked upon himself, four cast candlesticks by Paul Storr, and then concluding the sale with a highly prized example of early Newcastle silver, a Charles II seal top spoon by William Ramsey I.
