Object Description
A pair of agate-handled fish servers with tines, by William Chawner London 1822, crested with 5 ears of wheat.
Seymour Rabinovitch on page 248 of “Antique Silver Servers for the Dining Table” (1991) comments that ‘a rare pair [ of slices with fork-ends] (William Chawner II, London, 1822) has recently resurfaced’.
It was at about that time that this pair entered the private collection from which they are now being sold.
