Twelve Georgian silver dinner plates by Wright

Offered by: Mayfair Gallery

Description
Manufactured in 1782 by the accomplished English silversmith Charles Wright, this set of twelve silver dinner plates is of superb quality. Each plate is largely circular, though the profile of each plate is actually polygonal, featuring five pinched and indented points along the gadrooned rim. The plates include later engravings of a crown and the emblem of one Baron Vavazor of Wisbeach, indicating their provenance. The plates are stamped beneath with the marks of the maker, Charles Wright, as well as the year of production, 1782.
