Product Description
A magnificent, fine and impressive set of twelve antique Georgian English sterling silver plates made by Paul Storr; an addition to our range of collectable dining silverware.
This magnificent set of twelve antique George III sterling silver plates has a plain circular form.
The raised border is embellished with an impressive bright cut engraved crest of an arm in armour embowed, holding in the hand a scythe in bend dexter.
Each antique plate is ornamented with a fine and impressive applied gadroon decorated border to the rim.
The circular well of each plate is plain and unembellished.
The underside of each plate retains the silversmith’s centre punch mark.
These exceptional Georgian plates were crafted by one of the most famous and revered London silversmiths Paul Storr.
The surface of each plate has a fine colour and patination*.
* Patination or Patina is a subtle colouration or tarnish which forms on the surface of some metals, produced by oxidation or other chemical processes. A good patina proffers an aesthetically pleasing look.
Condition
These antique silver Paul Storr plates are an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional presentation condition.
There are surface knife scratches to the wells in keeping with the age, as to be expected with such pieces.
The bright cut engraved crests are very crisp and the applied decoration is very sharp.
Full hallmarks struck to the underside of each plate are all very clear; the sharpness of the hallmarks and decoration determine that these plates have not been excessively polished or overused.
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these pieces of Georgian silverware.
