Description
THE DUKE OF CLARENCE AND ST. ANDREWS GEORGE III SILVER TANKARD
EDWARD FERNELL, LONDON
of slightly tapering form, with reeded decoration, engraved Royal Coat of arms and cypher within garter engraved to the body, the flat hinged cover engraved with Royal coronet above motto within garter, for HRH Prince William, Duke of Clarence and St. Andrews, later King William IV of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the King of Hanover, plain S-scroll handle with pierced thumb piece and ivory insulators
19cm high, 29.5oz
Edward Farrell, first entered his mark as a plateworker in 1813 as there is no evidence of an apprenticeship of freedom granted.He eventually established himself as one of the most renowned silversmiths of the Regency period, particularly in the Rococo Revival and the Revivalist style. The Revivalist style particularly focused on pieces from the past and reproducing them. A significant Monteith Gilbert.852:1, 2-2008 held in the Sir Arthur and Rosalinde Gilbert collection within the V & A museum exemplifies this, the scene on the bowl depicts an ancient battle, described as "Alexander the Great's battle of the Granicus". Hallmarked for 1820-21, this piece shows how quickly Farrell ascended and honed his craft. Farrell’s success was facilitated further due to his relationship with the retailer Kensington Lewis, who was also very interested in presenting historical items to the market. Kensington Lewis’s main patron was H.R.H Prince Frederick Augustus, Duke of York, (1763 – 1827), the brother of the Prince Regent, who would go onto become King George IV. As the spare, the Duke of York had a very successful military career and consequently was able to commission impressive pieces of silverware. The Museum of Fine Arts Boston holds two salts in their collection 1989.313, each engraved with the Royal crest with the Garter motto and surmounted by a Royal ducal coronet, for the Duke of York.The armorial bearings on this tankard were granted in 1791 to William Henry, the third son of George III and his wife, Princess Sophia Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. He was born on the 21st August 1765 and succeeded to the throne upon the death of his eldest brother, George IV on the 26th June 1830. William was subsequently crowned at Westminster Abbey on the 8th September 1831. He died on the 20th June 1837 and was buried at Windsor. William was created Duke of Clarence and St Andrews and Earl of Munster on the 16th May 1789. He married Princess Adelaide Louise Theresa Caroline Amelia, daughter of George I, the reigning Duke of Saxe-Meiningen on the 11th July 1818. As William had no legitimate issue from this marriage, he was succeeded upon his death as Sovereign of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland by his niece, Victoria, whilst owing to Salic Law, the Kingdom of Hanover passed to Ernest Augustus, the Duke of Cumberland, the eldest surviving son of King George III.The fact that both the Duke of York and the future King William IV both were patrons of Edward Farrell is a true testament to the quality of his workmanship and the fashion of the day.
