Pair of Silver Entrée Dishes

Hallmarked London, 1829
These exceptional silver entrée dishes exude the elegant luxury of the Regency period. Crafted for a noble Scottish family, the monumental vessels would have served as magnificent centerpieces that showcased their elevated status through grand feasts.
During the Regency era, it was common for many serving dishes to remain on the table, some covered in a new high-domed style such as this one. These elaborate entrée dishes each have four parts: a base and liner for holding hot water, sterling silver inner dishes and high-domed covers for a dramatic effect. Heavily decorated and finely chased, each dish features an anthemion pattern on the cover's edge, with large gadrooning above it on the shoulder. Crossed twigs rising from oak leaves provide magnificent grips for the finials. Each dish is emblazoned with the heraldry of the Elphinstone family of Scotland.
The covers of these dishes were expertly crafted by renowned London silversmith John Bridge, founding member of Rundell, Bridge and Rundell. This esteemed firm was appointed Principal Royal Goldsmiths and Jewellers in 1804, a distinction they proudly held until 1843. The bases were crafted by Matthew Boulton of Birmingham, who was one of the most significant figures in Sheffield plate at the time. Exquisite and historically important, these dishes have been displayed in major museum exhibitions and were once part of the iconic Red McCombs silver collection, which has been highly studied and publicized.
