Context
William Eley II, an esteemed London silversmith, produced works of significant scale and refinement in the early 19th century, many retailed by Rundell, Bridge & Rundell, the premier Crown jewelers of the Georgian era. The present salver, with its elaborate mythological and hunting scenes, is a rare survival of both artistry and provenance. Its monumental weight and size, coupled with the survival of the original fitted case, underscores the importance of this piece as a likely presentation commission of royal or aristocratic significance.Have a similar item to sell?
