Great Quality Georgian English Sterling Silver Dish/Plate Cross Warmer 1790
Regular price
$1,476.00
Presented is a fantastic Georgian English sterling silver dish cross or dish warmer. This piece dates to 1790. The dish cross is done in a very traditional and classical style. The arms and feet of the dish cross are adjustable, to accommodate a wide variety of sizes of dish. The center of the dish cross has a removable burner with wick, to keep the food in the dish warm. This is a very solidly constructed piece of antique English silver, and would be an asset to any collection.
This piece is hallmarked on the underside with the lion passant for sterling silver, the leopard's head crowned for the city of London, the date letter p for 1790, the King George III head duty mark, and the maker's mark for George Smith. Both of the arms and all four feet of the cross are also hallmarked with the lion passant.
This piece is in excellent overall condition. We suspect the burner is not original, but it fits perfectly and the piece is completely functional. The arms and feet move as they should. There are no splits, no breaks, no monograms, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
This piece stands approximately 3 3/4 inches tall at its highest point.
This piece weighs 497.5 grams or 17.5 ounces.
