Pair of Late Georgian (George IV-William IV) Sheffield silver on copper Plate covered Entree Dishes with covers on hot water reservoirs. All matching and original parts. These date to approx c.1820-35 and are marked with the bell hallmark of the Sheffield maker Roberts, Smith & Co, 5 Eyre Street, Sheffield of this period...later succeeded by Smith, Sissons & Co, 5 Eyre Street, Sheffield in 1848.
These entree dishes were owned by members of the aristocratic and ancient De Burgh (or B...urke) family, one of the largest landowners in Ireland, though I have not pinpointed exactly who. Possibly the Earl of Clanricarde. These are both beautifully engraved on each side with a Cat-a-mountain heraldic Armorial and the Armorial coat of arms quartered and motto “A Cruce Salus” (From the cross comes salvation).These measure approx. 15” at the handles, 7.5” tall to top of finial and 9.5” deep. Very heavy at over 20 pounds for the pair. Silver surface is magnificent and mirror like with little wear.
