Silver & Objects of Vertu
Lots: 466
Encompassing an impressive seven centuries from the 15th to 21st, across Plantagenet spoons, Carolean dressing caskets, Victorian monumentalism, the Viennese Secession, to Dunhill enamels. The autumn Silver and Objects of Vertu sale is a serious offering for the established collector, institution, interior decorator, or budding enthusiast alike.
Rich in a tapestry of world arts the sale boasts one of the largest offerings of Iraqi nielloware in years, alongside choice pieces of Cambodian, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Indian silversmithing. Detailed research is provided on a litany of previous owners from the wax seal of Sir Edward Michael Ryan awarded the Order of Maria Theresa for his gallantry, to the esteemed and renown art collector William Beckford. Across the inscriptions and heraldry, we encounter the earliest known engraved arms for British Honduras now Belize, a cup from the beginning of New York rowing regattas, a gift from the son of the prime minister and former regent of Thailand to a disastrous gruesome Atlantic shipwreck brought to Wales.
Silver has a commanding lineage within humanity, illuminating our financial prowess, demonstrating our propensity for design and innovation, as well as a vehicle to record and vivify our social histories. The silver sales at Chiswick continue to passionately display each corner of this hallowed craft.
Viewing of canteens is available by appointment only at 6 Roslin Square
