An exceptional Georgian silver christening mug by the esteemed partnership of Rebecca Emes & Edward Barnard I, hallmarked London 1812. Rich in early 19th century character and craftsmanship, this beautifully proportioned antique silver mug features highly decorative scrolling grape and vine leaf borders to both the upper and lower rims, reflecting the refined naturalistic detailing so admired during the Georgian period.
Most striking is the wonderfully sculptural serpentine handle, designed in the form of a coiled snake with finely textured scales, adding both rarity and visual drama to the piece. The body is further enhanced by an engraved crest depicting a rampant lion, lending a distinguished sense of heritage and provenance.
Crafted in solid sterling silver, this elegant Georgian christening mug combines decorative artistry with practical form, making it a superb collector’s piece as well as a meaningful gift or heirloom item. Antique silver by Rebecca Emes and Edward Barnard I remains highly sought after for its quality, historic importance and enduring craftsmanship.
A fine example of Georgian silverware, ideal for collectors of antique silver, christening mugs and early 19th century decorative objects.
