Description
Pair of George II Sterling Silver Salt Cellars

hallmarked London, 1757-1758, by David Hennell I (1712-1785; free 1735), circular cauldron form with wavy gadrooned rim and later floral repousse decoration, raised on three shell-crested scroll-and-stepped-pad feet, the interiors gilt.
h. 1-1/2", dia. 2-1/2"; 2.98 total t. oz.

Literature: Percy Hennell, Hennell Silver Salt Cellars, 1736 to 1876 (East Grubstead, Sussex: BLA Publishing & the author, 1986).
Arthur G. Grimwade, London Goldsmiths, 1697-1837: Their Marks and Lives, Third Edition (London: Faber & Faber, 1990), pp. 543 & 753.
Condition
**In fair condition with many signs of age. Numerous dents and depressions, including compression rings on the body around all of the feet. Much wear to the relief and engraving. Some fading to the gilding, which is probably a Victorian addition. Marks well-rubbed and barely legible.
