Stunning Intricate Antique Silver Plate Large Scallop Shell Dish Description: No picture will do this piece justice. I've listed probably a thousand silver plated items and this is the best I've ever seen. It's a 9½" x 8" wide scallop shell in heavy gauge metal on three 'winkle shell' feet, and richly engraved. It weighs 318g/ 11 oz. It's finely detailed, the detail has detail on it and the detail on the detail is itself detailed. Does that make sense to you? It's as if the silversmith has finished it, then gone back and done more and then spotted some places where he can add even more. The piece has been created with no thought about time or money. It must have been either a commission piece or an exhibition piece. Perhaps it was made for a presentation. The maker is Z Barraclough & Sons Leeds. Condition: Some surface scuffs but no dents, bends or deep scratches. WHERE POSSIBLE WE WILL COMBINE THE POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES. PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE.
