Silver Salver
Walter & John Barnard
Hallmarked London, 1893
This exceptional Victorian silver salver was crafted by the renowned Walter & John Barnard in London in 1893. The circular tray features an intricately engraved six-lobed foliate cartouche at its center, framed by elegant foliate swags along the raised sides. The rim is defined by twelve alternating scrolls that extend up and down, creating a beautifully undulating silhouette. Supported by four finely detailed scroll feet, this salver showcases the impeccable craftsmanship for which the Barnard firm is celebrated. The harmonious combination of artistic elements makes it a standout example of Victorian silver.
Walter & John Barnard, a predecessor to Edward Barnard & Sons, is a part of one of the oldest and most prestigious goldsmith firms in the world, with origins tracing back to 1680. The Barnards are best known for their creation of the Lily font, the silver-gilt baptismal font used for the christenings of British Royal Family members. This salver is a testament to the legacy of exceptional craftsmanship that has defined the Barnard name for centuries. Additionally, it was part of the esteemed Red McCombs collection, known for its carefully curated selection of fine silver.
