ABOUT THE SILVERSMITHS: Possibly the oldest manufacturing silversmith in the world, the origin of this business having been established by Anthony Nelme c.1680. Francis Nelme inherited the business on the death of his father in 1722 and continued until 1739 when Thomas Whipham took over the business. On his death in 1756 his son Thomas Whipham jr took into partnership Charles Wright. Thomas retired in 1775 and the business was continued by Charles Wright. The business was amalgamated by Henry Chawner in 1786 and the latter son of Edward Barnard became the foreman of the firm. Chawner was master to Edward Barnard so that the connection of the Barnard family can be traced from 1773. In 1796 they took into partnership John Emes who became the owner after the retirement of Chawner, maintaining Edward Barnard as manager. Emes died in 1808 and his widow Rebecca took as partner Edward Barnard. Rebecca Emes withdrew in 1829 and Edward Barnard became the proprietor with his sons Edward Barnard (II), John Barnard and William Barnard, trading under the style Edward Barnard & Sons. After the retirement of Edward Barnard (I) the firm was continued by Edward Barnard (II) (1846-1851), John Barnard (1846-1868), William Barnard (1846), Edward Barnard (III) (1868), Walter Barnard (1868-1903), John Barnard (II) (1868-1903), Michael Barnard (1896-1903), Stanley Barnard (1896-1903) and Robert Dubcock (1896). The firm continued until 1977 when they were taken over by Padgett & Braham Ltd.

Elkington & Co. until 1842, when a third partner, Josiah Mason, joined the firm. It was around this time that they purchased the patent for electroplating (silver plating) and their business flourished greatly from their newfound skills. The company operated as Elkington, Mason & Co. until 1861 when the partnership with Mason was terminated. The firm operated independently as Elkington & Co. from 1861 until 1963. It was then taken over by British Silverware Ltd. In 1971 British Silverware, Ltd. became a subsidiary of Delta Metal Co. Ltd. To My Knowledge, It No Longer Exists. Over the course of its 130-year history it became very successful and was one of the prime producers of sterling & silver plated wares. Elkington received various royal warrants of appointments, and also an Imperial and Royal Warrant of Appointment from the emperor of Austria. One of their most famous pieces is the electrotype copy of the Jerningham Wine Cooler, at the Victoria & Albert Museum.

A rare and unusual, Italian .800 silver tray made by the Milan silversmith Luigi Cervone, who was known for his unique designs of blending silver with malachite and other natural minerals. The rectangular tray has a totally plain center, the border with bold scrolling foliage on matted stippled ground and mounted with malachite panels. The Italian markings are on the underside of the handle, the 800 mark denotes the Italian silver standard, and the other marking, which was hard to photograph, but has a STAR, which was enacted into law in Italy in 1968, it has MI for Milan and the number 1007 which was the number assigned to the silversmith Luigi Cervone. He ceased silversmithing in 1970, so the tray dates clearly between 1968 and 1970. This is a really stunning look, truly a work of art by a unique silversmith.  Tray measures: 27″ x 16.50″ Tray weighs: 3193 grams = 102.65 troy oz = 112.62 regular ounces.   Most if not all items are antique or used items, and as such nothing is ‘perfect’, but we always will describe any damage, repair, inscriptions, monograms, etc to the best of our ability.
