This magnificent and rare English silver salver is a stunning work by beloved silversmith Hester Bateman. Displaying exceptional intricacy, this salver is marked by Bateman's renowned beaded borders and is centered by a highly detailed, bright-cut armorial, a technique for which Bateman is especially regarded. Set upon lion's paw feet, this salver is truly a work of art.
Bateman created silver that spoke of refined domesticity. The style of her wares truly shows her innovative and daring qualities as a silversmith. She chose austere, elegant forms that emphasized the importance of line and classical taste rather than the highly ornamental designs of the popular Rococo style. Her success as an 18th-century businesswoman in addition to her light and skillful touch is what distinguishes her work to this day.
