A very unusual pair of George III Salvers made in London in 1766 by

The Salvers stand on three cast claw and ball feet and the raised rim is decorated with a very unusual wave bead band. The centre of the salvers are engraved with a contemporary Armorial surrounded by a cartouche of foliate scrolls. The Salvers are in excellent condition and are very well marked on the reverse. This is a very unusual design and examples previously seen have been made by John Carter, however these were made in the workshops of Hannam & Crouch, who were specialist makers of salvers and trays. The right hand side of the arms which are argent, an eagle displayed sable, are common to a number of families. They impale those of Sandilands of Hilderstoon in Scotland, quartering those of Douglas. Sandilands quartering Douglas, are, to this day the arms borne by the Barons Topichin, Lord(s) created 1564. Height: 1 inch, 2.5 cm. Diameter: 7.5 inches, 18.75 cm. Weight: 21oz, the pair.
