Sterling Silver Porringer - Antique Charles II (1671) Video

Sterling Silver Porringer - Antique Charles II (1671)

Description

This exceptional antique Charles II sterling silver porringer has a circular rounded form onto a collet base.

The surface of the porringer is embellished with an impressive chased hunting hound to one side and a stag to the other, all amidst large foliate designs and incorporating pinstruck swirl designs.

This English silver porringer is fitted with two impressive cast, leaf decorated S scroll handles with elevated figural shaped thumbpieces.

NOTE: After surviving the Great Fire of London the records at the London Assay office were destroyed by fire in 1681; their catalogues and documentation began again in 1697. However it can be pertained through further research that the attributed maker is possibly John Gibbs, who was free from his apprenticeship work to plateworkers in 1662.

Andrew Campbell started trading in antiques during the 1970s. Initially, Andrew lived in the South of England, travelling the country, searching for items of silver to buy. Andrew sold these items at various London markets and antique fairs. Over time, and through selling at a range of venues, Andrew built up a large and diverse customer base from private buyers to national and international trade customers.
