Silver Elizabeth II Pedestal Dish Mappin & Webb, 1972

A striking and elegant silver pedestal dish by the renowned silversmiths Mappin & Webb, hallmarked Sheffield 1972. The broad shallow bowl is decorated throughout with an overlapping scale pattern radiating from the centre to the scalloped rim, a design of pleasing regularity and visual impact that catches the light beautifully from every angle. Raised on a plain circular pedestal foot, the piece is well-proportioned and versatile, equally suited to use at table or as a decorative display piece. A perfect example of mid-twentieth century English silverwork by one of the most distinguished names in British silversmithing.
