Rare Irish - Cork Silver Bougie Box c1795 - Wax Jack by Thomas Austen - Provincal


The only mark is a makers mark which was not unusual on small items in the 18th century and in

particular for provincial items as transporting them to the capital to be hallmarked was a risky business.


The makers mark is TA for Thomas Austen of Cork (see mark and photo from Douglas Bennett\'s excellent

volume \'Collecting Irish Silver\') who worked in the late 18th century Georgian period,

It is 3.2 cms tall and has a diameter of 5 cms at its widest points including catch and hinge.

It weighs 38 grammes.


Any dark marks are tarnish or shadows.Unfortunately it is missing its handle but any good silversmith

would be able to replace it if desired.Otherwise in really lovely condition. A wonderful tactile object

and rare as rare can be.


Please note the photo with the handle missing looks as though the silver is split. This is not the case it is a

reflection from the part that holds the missing handle.




TRACKED POSTAGE to all countries where tracking is available. Tracked postage will take longer than 2-5 days certainly for further locations.
