Hello my name is Andrew Campbell, welcome to AC Silver.
This large, fine and impressive antique George IV English sterling silver wine ewer is quite
a magnificent example.
Such oversized ewers are scarce to the market, certainly in this quality and condition.
It is quite an exceptional gauge of silver at 90 troy ounces.
The piece has a plain baluster shaped form onto a circular pedestal foot.
The foot has an impressive band of gadroon decoration; this decoration is very sharp.
To the lower portion there is very imposing fluted decoration.
The ewer is fitted with an impressive chased decorated scroll handle ornamented with a
chased decorated acanthus leaf thumbpiece and upper socket, in addition to a floral
motif.
All this decoration is very crisp and sharp.
There is a further impressive band of gadroon decoration to the rim; this is also crisp
and sharp.
Full hallmarks are struck to the surface and are very clear.
The highlighted features of this exceptional ewer make it one that could be sold with my
highest recommendations.
If you require any further information or assistance regarding this magnificent wine
ewer, please do not hesitate to contact us via telephone or email.
