John Scofield Georgian Silver Salver Tray London 1785

Antique Georgian Silver Salver Tray London 1785 John Scofield 1785. Circular form salver with bead rim raised rim and interior, family crest to center, raised on three feet, hallmarked. Weight: 478 grams Diameter: 9 inches. Height:1 inch. John Schofield (also spelled Scofield) registered as working from Bell Yard, Temple Bar in London from 1778 to 1796. He worked for the royal goldsmiths and received commissions from the Prince Regent – later George IV, for his residence Carlton House in London. He worked in the neoclassical style and was noted for his very fine workmanship (which was on the rise in the latter half of the 18th century as the taste for French-influenced Rococo silverware started to recede). By 1770, the English preference was for more formal classical decoration with shapes inspired by the ancients such as urns, vases and simple ovoid shapes and straight spouts and this is reflected in his work. His signature style was to use beaded and geometric bands, oval medallions and palmettes. Condition: Good. Reflections purely from photography only.
