COVERED NEOCLASSICAL CUP. ROBERT GARRARD II & EDWARD BURROWS. ENGLAND, FIRST THIRD OF THE 19TH CENTURY

An impressive two-handled lidded cup crafted in parcel-gilt silver (vermeil) in the neoclassical style. The Medici-shaped body is richly adorned with a frieze of rinceaux, palmettes, and acanthus leaves, complemented by a beaded border and finely engraved motifs. The serpentine handles dramatically encircle the body, and the lid is crowned with a sculptural leafy finial. Each detail reflects the refined craftsmanship of the Georgian period. The piece stands on a fluted and profiled pedestal base with acanthus ornamentation. The hallmarks confirm its London origin, sterling standard, and authorship by the renowned workshop of Robert Garrard II in partnership with Edward Burrows.

Marks: A quatrefoil cartouche bearing the initials RE / EB — the registered mark of Robert Garrard II & Edward Burrows, used during the 1820s. This mark represents the early phase of the illustrious Garrard house, later appointed as official Crown Jeweller. Additional marks: the leopard’s head — the hallmark of the city of London, in use since the 13th century; the date letter “O” (in an oval) — corresponding to the year 1829; lion passant — the standard mark for sterling silver (925), mandatory in England since the 13th century; and the monarch’s profile — the duty mark indicating silver tax paid during the reign of George IV or William IV.
