\'THE VACANT CARTOUCHE\' IS PLEASED TO BRING TO YOU :

THE HUGE \'\'GEORGIAN OSP\'\' SALE.

A MASSIVE COLLECTIVE SALE OF ONLY GENUINE \'FUSED PLATE\', \'CLOSE PLATE\' & PROPER \'OLD SHEFFIELD PLATE\' FROM THE GEORGIAN PERIOD.

TODAYS sale :

A SIMPLY SUPERB & MOST BEAUTIFUL QUALITY, OLD SHEFFIELD PLATE SILVER MOUNTED FRUIT BOWL.
STRUCK WITH A SCOTTISH FAMILY CREST & MOTTO.

DESCRIPTION :

A SPLENDID GEORGIAN PIECE, OF FINE STYLE & DESIGN.

OF SUPERB, RICH QUALITY, IT IS A FINE ANTIQUE FRUIT BOWL TO PLACE UPON THE TABLE. FILLED WITH APPLES, GRAPES OR EXOTIC FRUITS, IT WOULD LOOK WONDERFUL.

THE BOWL IS OF A VERY LARGE, RECTANGULAR FORM, WITH A LOVELY DEEP CENTRE & SUPERB PAIR OF LOOP CARRYING HANDLES TO THE SIDES.

THE TALL WALLS OF THE BOWL ARE \'LOBED\', WITH A GOOD, WIDE \'SPLAYED RIM\' TO THE TOP.

THE VERY CENTRE OF THE BOWL IS ENGRAVED WITH A FAMILY CREST & MOTTO.
THIS IS OF A \'DOVE\' WITH AN \'OLIVE BRANCH\' IN ITS BEAK.
THE MOTTO ABOVE IS ON A SCROLL & READS AS \'I HOPE\'.

AFTER SOME RESEARCH THIS WAS FOUND TO BELONG TO THE \'GORDON\' FAMILY OF \'PITLURG\', ABERDEENSHIRE, SCOTLAND.

WITH THE RIM BEING TOPPED WITH A RICH SILVER FILLED BORDER OF \'GADROON, SCROLL & SHELL\' PATTERN.
THE SILVER FILLED HANDLES ARE OF A MATCHING, SCROLL & GADROON STYLE.

THE UNDERSIDE IS VERY CLEAN & BRIGHT TOO.
STANDING UPON A RECTANGULAR FOOT.

THIS FRUIT BOWL IS A STUNNING PIECE & STILL A BEAUTIFUL PIECE.

THERE ARE SURFACE MARKS & WEAR IN PLACES. WITH SOME COPPER BLEEDING THROUGH & SOME LEAD AT THE BORDERS.
THE HANDLES DO SHOW SOME DAMAGE. WITH A HISTORIC REPAIR TO ONE SIDE & A COUPLE OF TINY SPLITS NEAR THE OTHER. BUT BOTH STILL WELL ATTACHED.

THE FOOT SHOWS SOME SLIGHT SEPARATION FROM THE BASE, BUT THATS IT.

A WONDERFUL GEORGIAN PIECE FOR THE COLLECTOR.

BOWL MEASURES 45 CM / NEARLY 18 INCHES WIDE FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE & IS 27.5 CM DEEP.
