1752 1822 Antiquary Antique Dish Profiled
EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Henry Englefield (1752-1822), an esteemed antiquary of the 18th and early 19th centuries, is depicted in this intricately designed antique dish. Englefield's profiled image graces the center of the dish, surrounded by an elaborate border of intricate floral and geometric patterns. The dish, a testament to the artistic craftsmanship of the time, adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the portrait. Born in London, Englefield developed an early interest in antiquities and history. He became a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1772 and went on to publish numerous works on various aspects of English history and antiquities. His most notable publications include "A History of the Woodstock Chapel" (1776) and "A History of the Collegiate Church of St. George, at Windsor" (1792). Englefield's contributions to the field of antiquarian studies were significant, and he was well-respected in academic circles. He was also a member of several prestigious societies, including the Royal Society and the Numismatic Society. Englefield's expertise in numismatics, or the study of coins and currency, led him to amass a vast collection of coins and medals, which he donated to the British Museum upon his death. The antique dish, with its intricate design and Sir Henry Englefield's profiled image, is a fascinating glimpse into the past. It not only showcases the artistic talent of the time but also serves as a reminder of Englefield's important role in the study and preservation of English history and antiquities. This beautifully crafted dish is a treasure in its own right, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the past.
