The salvers feature beautifully executed Chippendale-style borders, enhanced by intricate shell and scroll motifs, perfectly embodying the elegance of 18th-century British silver.

The circular trays rest on three sturdy hoofed feet, giving them both balance and an impressive presence. The attention to detail is evident in the finely cast rims. These salvers would have been a mark of status and taste in Georgian England, and they continue to impress with their timeless beauty.

Richard Rugg was highly regarded as a specialist salver maker during the George III period, a reputation built on the consistent quality and artistry of his work. His salvers are often considered some of the finest examples of Georgian salvers, with these demonstrating the technical precision and aesthetic finesse that made him a leading figure in London’s silversmithing community.
