Item Details
Description
Victorian Silverplate Electrotype Copper "Temperantia" Charger, fourth quarter 19th century, after the late 16th-century pewter original by Francois Briot (1545-1620), dia. 17-3/4". The "Temperantia" Charger, one of the most celebrated pieces of Mannerist pewter, is conserved at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The piece features a center plaque of Temperance surrounded by the four elements on the inner circle and the seven liberal arts and their patron, Minerva, on the outer. It was copied even in its day - most notably by Nuremberg pewtersmith Caspar Enderlein (1560-1633) - and in later centuries versions appeared in palissyware and (as here) metal electrotype. The piece is most famous today as the Wimbledon Women's Singles trophy, a sterling silver copy being presented to the winner.
