Description: Antique Sterling Silver Vinaigrette by Joseph Fillmore c1827 A fine Georgian Sterling Silver Vinaigrette by the highly respected Birmingham Silversmith Joseph Willmore (please see the detailed close-up photographs provided, which form an integral part of the item's description). This wonderful Antique Vinaigrette demonstrates the fine quality craftsmanship of this fine Silversmith - the Hand Chased Scroll Border is simply exquisite and the detailing on each side of the Vinaigrette is testimony to the skill of it's Maker.Overall this fine quality Vinaigrette is in great original condition (I have not attempted to clean it as I am aware many collectors prefer to undertake that task or leave the item in its original condition). It has no damage other than a tiny hole on one side approx' 4.0mm below the Hinge (shown in the third & fourth photographs), which I suspect was done during the manufacturing process. As shown, the Lid has a Cartouche, which as been engraved with the letters 'DPS' and it opens & closes as it should. The Interior Gilding inside the Lid is simply breathtaking for a piece that is 186 years old having survived almost intact - although it would undoubtedly benefit from a careful clean. The Gilded Grille opens & closes as it should and it is beautifully finished with Hand Chased Foliate Engraving of the highest quality (please see photographs). The Vinaigrette has the following dimensions: Length; approx' 36mm; Width: approx' 25mm; Height: approx' 11mm; and Weight: 20.8 grams. It has the following Hallmarks: On the inside of the lid - Profile of George IV; Maker's Mark - 'JW' for Joseph Willmore; Lion Passant - Sterling Silver On the base of the vinaigrette - Town Mark - 'Anchor' for Birmingham; Maker's Mark - 'JW' for Joseph Willmore; Date Letter - 'D' for 1827 I have provided high quality detailed photographs to help you appreciate the quality of this superb piece, please take the time to study them as they form part of the description.
