Silver salver
Charles Fox
Hallmarked London, 1826

This remarkable George IV silver salver was crafted by renowned silversmith Charles Fox. Fox, along with his son George, established a notable silversmith dynasty that left a lasting impact on the craft. The salver exemplifies the high quality and exceptional craftsmanship for which the Fox family was celebrated. This silver salver features an intricately chased floral border, even gadrooning and a finely engraved surface, decorated with flourishing acanthus leaves and delicate flowers embodying the opulence and intricacy of early 19th-century silverwork.

Centered on the salver is the crest of the Follett family, accompanied by the motto "Quo virtus ducit scando," which translates to "I climb where virtue leads." The Follett family includes the distinguished Sir William Webb Follett (1796-1845), an eminent lawyer and politician, who is commemorated by an over-life-size marble statue in Westminster Abbey’s St. Michael Chapel.

Charles Fox played a key role in elevating English silver design during the Georgian era. His work, along with that of his son George, was widely regarded, and their firm became synonymous with top-tier silverware in London. The Fox family’s contributions continue to be highly esteemed by collectors. Additionally, this salver was a part of the iconic Red McCombs collection, which has been highly publicized and studied.
