George II Salver Made in London by William Peaston, 1752

The Salver stands on three cast hoof feet and is circular in form with a raised rim decorated with scrolls and shells, typical of the late George II period. The centre of the main body is engraved with a contemporary Armorial surrounded by a cartouche of floral sprays and shells. This fine piece is in excellecnt condition, has a good colour and is very well marked on the reverse. The Arms are those of Samuel Newton Esquire of Bromley Regis, County Staffordshire and his wife Elizabeth Fowler, daughter of Charles Fowler of Penderford Hall, County Staffs. She died in 1776. They had three children, John who died with no issue in 1783, Mary, who married Richard Harper Esq and Sarah, who married Sir Lister Holt of Aston. William Peaston was a specialist Salver maker and had an interesting maker’s mark of WP in a heart shaped punch.
