No. 67: A Historical Treasure - The Silver Cup Presented by Charles II to the Barber-Surgeons' Company in 1850 This exquisite silver cup, bearing the rich history of the Barber-Surgeons' Company, dates back to 1850. The cup, given by Charles II, King of Great Britain and Ireland, is an intricately designed artifact that showcases the grandeur of the Victorian era. The cup is adorned with intricate engravings, including acorns and nuts, symbols of prosperity and growth. These decorative elements are reminiscent of the Company's coat of arms, which features an acorn and the motto "Pro Fide et Obedientia" (For Faith and Obedience). The cup's exterior is embellished with ornate designs, including the rose, fleur-de-lis, and portcullis, all popular symbols of the Tudor and Stuart eras. Four lions' masks are also present on the bowl, from which hang bells, adding to the cup's grandeur and historical significance. The interior of the cup reveals the arms of the Company, a testament to its long and esteemed history. This cup is a valuable addition to the collection of mediaeval and ancient art, showcased in London during the 19th century. The Barber-Surgeons' Company, also known as the Worshipful Company of Barbers, is an ancient guild that traces its origins back to the Middle Ages. The Company's primary role was to regulate the practice of barbering and surgery, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene and skill. This magnificent cup, a gift from King Charles II, is a testament to the Company's rich history and its enduring significance in British history. The cup, which was first featured in the Illustrated London News in 1850, continues to inspire awe and admiration among historians, collectors, and enthusiasts of historical artifacts.
