Monumental silver vase valued for insurance

We recently undertook an insurance valuation of a collection of silver and the stand out piece was this monumental silver Warwick style 2-handled vase with applied masks and entwined vine handles, on a circular embossed foot engraved with the maker’s name of Elkington & Co.

It has the date letter on the hallmark for Birmingham 1901/1902, stands 40cm high and weighs in at nearly 225 troy ounces. So it is heavier than the FA Cup and about the same height, if you don’t count the lid on the FA Cup.

Valuations can often be provided from photographs and dimensions. So, if you require a silver valuation for insurance, sale or probate purposes, please get in touch.

An original signed black and white studio photograph of Andy Warhol by Richard Avedon that sold for £2500. Part of a collection of Avedon works that I got in for sale that came by direct descent from one of his New York studio assistants. . . . #richardavedonphotography #richardavedon #americanphotographer #andywarhol

I discovered this pair of Castellani bracelets on a routine probate valuation in Hove, amongst a group of costume jewellery. The family had no idea what they were or where they had come from. Fortunately I knew exactly what they were and entered them into a Bonhams auction where they sold today for £30,000 plus buyer’s premium. Made circa 1865 in a Byzantine style they are set with sugarloaf and cabochon sapphires and each is marked on the reverse with the interlocking CC mark. . . #castellani #caetani #byzantinerevival #giuliano #antiquejewellery #antiquejewelry #probatevaluations #nicholasmuston #antiquevaluations
