<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 1598811, member: 29"]That's handsome. I agree it's been got at later: it's reasonable for 18th C silver to have fancy <i><b>shaped </b></i>handles and knops and such, but all that hammering and stamping and repousse and embossing is usually a Victorian with too much time on hi or her hands. The 18th century and Georgian makers relied on shape and form, hence the nice scrollwork on the handles, without adding those flowers. </p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting that the name has a middle initial . That's far more of an American thing. We'd normally either just do first name, or the middle name would be in full.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
