Early George III Sterling Silver Warwick Cruet Frame

hallmarked London, 1760-1761, by Emick Romer, of traditional cinquefoil form raised on four treble C-scroll legs and pierced union shell feet, with five circular gadrooned receptacles faced by a rococo cartouche, all surrounding a central baluster standard with rococo ring handle, fitted with one large, h. 8-1/4", and two small, h. 7-1/2", casters, each of baluster form decorated with repousse spiral imbricate gadrooning with strawberry finials, and two cut glass cruets with sterling cylindrical caps en suite with the casters, h. 8", the frame cartouche engraved with the arms of Symmes impaling James, the casters engraved with the crest of Symmes of Daventry.
overall h. 11-1/2", w. 9-1/2"; 66.41 total t. oz. (excluding glass bottles)

In generally good condition, with no dents or breaks and moderate surface wear commensurate with age and use. The cap of one of the smaller casters appears to have been repaired, retaining the original sleeve (which has a 3/4" dent) and finial, but all the rest a later replacement, well-matched but lacking any reticulation. At least one, and perhaps both of the finials on the bottle caps have been repaired. The glass bottles have some scattered frits and "flea bites" on the sharp edges and tiny chips on the corners, but without any cracks or large chips. The frame and casters hallmarked (on the underside) with: 1) the sterling lion passant; 2) the London crowned leopard's head; 3) the date letter "E" for 1760-1761; and 4) the "ER" maker's mark of Emick Romer. Marks very good. The caster caps part-marked on the sleeve with the lion passant and maker's mark (both worn but legible); the bottle caps unmarked.
