EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite George II cup and cover, crafted in 1739 by the skilled hands of David Willaume. Made from lustrous gold, this masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 32 cm. The inverted bell-shaped cup rests gracefully on a circular foot adorned with delicate moulded borders. Noteworthy are the two foliage-capped scroll handles that add an elegant touch to this regal piece. The coat of arms proudly displayed on its surface symbolizes prestige and honor, while the finely engraved crests further enhance its grandeur. With its rococo-inspired design and ornate decoration, this Georgian treasure is a testament to the craftsmanship of English metalwork during this period. Its finial, resembling an urn, adds a sense of sophistication to the overall composition. Originally created as a prize-winning trophy or decorative chalice, it now resides in a private collection where it continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and rich history. This photograph beautifully captures every aspect of this remarkable artwork – from the meticulously carved handles to the elaborate foliate motifs. As we gaze upon this image captured by Christie's Images and brought to us by Bridgeman Images, we cannot help but marvel at both its artistic beauty and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with ornamental objects that have stood the test of time.
