Four Georgian Silver Entrée Dishes by Robert Garrard

Covered Entrée Dishes, Set of 4
Robert Garrard
Hallmarked London, 1811

These four exceptional Georgian sterling silver covered entrée dishes, crafted by Robert Garrard, showcase refined elegance and craftsmanship. Each dish features reeded and acanthus leaf finials with matching handles and intricate gadroon details. The heraldry, with its chequy pattern and proud barking dog, adds to their distinguished history. In the Georgian era, impressive sterling silver serving dishes like these were not just functional but also important symbols of status, remaining prominently displayed on the table during fine banquets.

R. & S. Garrard & Co. were Crown Jewelers to the English court and executed several works in silver and gold for the royal family, including Queen Mary's coronation crown and Queen Elizabeth's platinum crown. During the mid-19th century, Robert Garrard and his firm were the leading producers of presentation silver. Following the decline of Rundell, Bridge and Rundell, they acquired the title of Royal Goldsmiths, Jewelers and Official Crown Jewellers in 1843. These fine works from Garrard were a part of the prestigious Red McCombs collection, which has been highly publicized and studied.

Each: 7" high x 11 1/4" wide x 9 1/4" deep
