1732 London Sterling Silver 8.5" Footed Salver Tray ~ Boar's Head ~ Paul Hanet For Sale

OUTSTANDING LONDON STERLING SILVER 8-1/2" SALVER DATED 1732

I have some extraordinary sterling items for your consideration this week, most quite old English pieces like this beautiful 8-1/2" diameter salver or footed tray. This piece dates to 1732, London and has a scalloped, gadroon rim with a central engraved boar's head mark. These marks were commonly taken from a part of the family shield or crest and are commonly found on sterling pieces from this era. The salver has 3 pad feet. There are a couple of scratches to the surface, one about 2" long and the other about 1" in length. Underneath, this salver has a very faint, nearly worn away name, M.I. Burton. It does have fairly clear maker's marks including the crowned leopard duty mark, the lion passant, date code for 1732 and partial maker's mark, H. ? with a dot beneath the two letters. I believe this may be the mark of Paul Hanet, registered in London in 1715. Another set of initials appears in the center of the underside, D.I.M. The salver will become a treasured addition to any fine sterling silver collection. It weighs 280 grams or 9 troy ounces.
