Antique Georgian Solid Silver Mug Cup with Chased Laurel Leaves - London c.1800s
About the Item
We are delighted to offer this beautiful and unusual Georgian solid silver mug cup made in London c.1820.
This mug is a wonderful example of a modestly sized yet exquisite quality piece of Georgian silverware which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical. The mug features a wonderful hand-chased and stippled laurel leaf motif spreading from the base towards the top which creates a most beautiful contrast with the plain finishing of the other areas.
The handle features further ornate foliate scrolling and chased decorations. The interior is gilt (gold on top of solid silver) which protects the silver from tarnishing, especially with content that may be held within. As such the mug can be used practically even today as a wonderful way to enjoy a drink in the most opulent fashion.
Such a combination of opulence and fine silver artistry makes this mug not only a practical piece of silverware but a highly complimentary one to interior settings. Whether as a single accenting piece or amongst antique decor, this may just be the perfect piece to highlight and elevate the ambience of an interior.
Overall, a very impressive and opulent mug ideal for collections or for practical usage. Whether be it as a treat for yourself or as a gift for someone special, this mug certainly is a unique and fine example of a Georgian silver mug.
The mug is hallmarked with full English marks on the side however is worn and the maker's mark and date letter are indistinct.

Antique Solid Silver Georgian Asparagus Tongs, Leveson-Gower/Sutherland Crest
By William Eley & William Fearn
Located in London, GB
We are delighted to have acquired and be able to offer this pair of solid silver Georgian asparagus tongs made by William Eley & William Fearn in London, 1820.
The tongs feature a wonderful classical style with the terminals of the handles presenting a scalloped design and the entire edge accented by a contrasting border formed by two fine lines.
A noteworthy crest is present on the end of the handle with it bearing the crest of Leveson-Gower ('wolf statant collared and chained') and the other crest for the Sutherland Clan, described as a 'cat-a-mountain salient'.

During the period this piece was made, the 1st Duke of Sutherland, George Granville Leveson-Gower owned extensive land which eventually resulted in him being one of the wealthiest individuals in Britain to such an extent that titles and speculation such as "The Leviathan...
