Sterling Silver Presentation Chess Trophy - Antique George V

This exceptional antique George V sterling silver presentation trophy has a plain circular waisted form, realistically modelled in the form of a king chess piece.

The plain knopped body of this impressive presentation piece is plain and unembellished.

The upper portion of this sterling silver chess ornament is surmounted with the traditional cross motif finial*.

This impressive example of antique silverware is fitted to the original wood plinth, encircled with a vacant silver inscription band; the band may be engraved with a personal inscription if so desired.

* Within a set of chess pieces the cross finial is a notable feature to make the king instantly recognisable from the queen.

Maker: Unknown

This antique sterling silver chess ornament is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the trophy are all very clear; the maker's mark has work in keeping with age and location.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine example of antique silverware.
