Biography: Robert Calderwood was active in the middle of the 18th century, roughly from the 1727 until his death in 1766. He worked in Castle Street, at the back of Dublin Castle, in the centre of Dublin. He served time as both a Warden and Master of the Company of Goldsmiths of Dublin, and trained several apprentices.It is thought possible that he worked for a time in London, as his work is slightly different to many other Irish silversmiths working at that time.He also accupied Pew Number 75 in St. Werburgh’s Church, the church which stood around the corner from Goldsmith’s Hall.His maker’s mark was the letters RC with a small device between the letters. The shape of the mark was usually slighly scalloped on either the bottom or both the top and bottom of the mark.

Condition: This rare antique Dublin sugar castor is in excellent condition with no damage or restoration. The silver marks around the base are rubbed – the harp and Hibernia marks are clear but the makers mark and possible date letter are not easy to make out. Top unmarked.Please note that this item is not new and will show moderate signs of wear commensurate with age. Reflections in the photograph may detract from the true representation of this item.
