Dual Crest
Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2014 11:51 am
HI,
Here's an interesting example of a dual crest on a footed cup, perhaps a wedding gift with the crests of the two families displayed. The item was made by the important silversmith Benjamin Smith II. It was assayed at London in 1827.
Any thoughts on who this pairing may be?
