A pair of George III silver beef machine brackets by Thomas Heming, 1770, length 20.5cm, combined weight 350g/11.25ozt approx (2) Note: 18th-century archives contain a number of references to silver 'Beef Machines.' It seems certain that the term refers to upright brackets designed to sit in, or clamp onto, meat dishes, with forked finials and sometimes additional slots for skewers. One, apparently complete, example is in the collection of the Colonial Williamsburg Museum and comprises a meat dish and screw-on brackets by Aldridge and Green, London 1784, together with an unmarked 20-inch skewer. Clayton, in his 'Dictionary of English and American Silver', notes three pairs of such brackets, of varying heights: two of which pairs are marked by Thomas Heming. One such pair appeared for sale in Christie's London [18th May 1988, lot 345] and was marked by Heming for 1773, the brackets being 31cm high, with two additional slots, and weighing 15 ozs. The 'Wakelin Ledgers' for 1770 provide the following references to these brackets and their skewers: 24th May 1770, William Aislabie ordered a 'Beef Machine' weighing 17ozs. 10dwts. and costing £7 13s. 7d. 3rd February 1770, the Earl of Macclesfield ordered a 'Beef Machine skewer with shell head', weighing 4 ozs. 15dwts. and costing £1 17s 9d.
