Pair of Georgian Solid Silver Pedestal Sauce Boats - William Collins 1774

We are delighted to offer this wonderful pair of Georgian solid silver pedestal sauce boats made by London silversmith William Collins in 1774. The pair features a timeless and classic Georgian design of the plain, unembellished body with a gadrooned border on the top and feet of the pedestal. Furthermore, a cast-silver handle of an elegant form is present with a minimal yet accenting engraved top thumbpiece of a foliate design. The boats are made from a thick and excellent gauge of silver with a sturdy and trustworthy feel in hand. Additionally, the widened feet support the boat superbly and allow for the aesthetic curves, designs and shapes to reveal themselves under many tones of reflective highlights and shadows. The pair make a highly desirable piece of Georgian silverware whether for collection or for practical use as tableware - ideal for holding any sauces of your choice for a luxurious and indulging meal. In addition to other silverware, the pair makes for an excellent display of the fine Georgian craftsmanship. The pair is fully hallmarked on the lip with English marks - some wear is present due to its age (246 years old).
