£335.00
A charming pair of Regency-era salt dishes crafted in English sterling silver, attributed to the esteemed maker D & R Hennell. Dating to approximately 1820, these Georgian pieces bear London assay marks, though the year date and maker's mark have worn with age—a testament to their authentic heritage. The dishes showcase the refined craftsmanship characteristic of the period, with elegant proportions and subtle detailing. Accompanying this pair are shell-form spoons, a complementary addition to the set. While these spoons lack assay marks, they are attributed to maker W.C. and display the same quality of workmanship. Both the salt dishes and spoons retain traces of wax residue within the bowls, consistent with their age and historical use. A distinguished addition to any collection of English silver or Georgian antiques, these pieces reflect the sophistication and artistry of early 19th-century London silversmithing.
