18th Century American Colonial Pewter Tankard Fbt Davenport

$990List Price

About the Item

Presenting a glorious piece of early Americana, namely, a colonial 18th century American colonial pewter tankard fbt davenport. “fbt’ stands for ‘formerly belonging to’ a Mr. Davenport, who name is carved into the base. The lid has the initials “S.H.” carved into a central medallion. This is a very large and heavy tankard. Initially, we thought it was made of lead but now we are firmly of the opinion that it is a very heavy and thick pewter. The lid is hinged with a large thumb lever. It has a single handle and is ‘bulbous’ in shape. Based upon it’s style, construction and ancient natural patina and obvious signs of natural age we are of the opinion that this is an American Colonial piece from the early to mid-18th century, circa 1700–1750. Holds 5 Quarts of ale !! If only this piece could talk it would have some incredible tales to tell about early Colonial America ! Provenance: From a Private New England collection. Condition: It has all the evidence of natural aging. It has a small crack where the lid connects to the thumb lever and signs of a very old or ancient repair in the same area. Otherwise, the piece has some indentations as one would expect from a piece this age and made of soft metal. Dimensions: 14? tall, 9? wide at handle and a diameter of 7.5? at the widest point (mid section) and a base diameter of 6.3?. It weighs 6 lbs. It holds 5 quarts of ale.

18th Century Irish Georgian Cork Sideboard

Located in Dallas, TX

Presenting a gorgeous and very rare 18th century Irish Georgian Cork Sideboard of lovely neat proportions. Made in Ireland during the George III Era, circa 1790 and most likely made in the Southern City of Cork. A STUNNING Irish provincial piece from the Georgian Era! Made of solid mahogany, probably imported from Cuba and the secondary woods are oak (as one would expect). Beautiful dovetailing on the inside of the drawers. The ‘hints’ that this is in fact an ‘Irish’ piece are numerous. The ‘scallop shell’ on the center of the back gallery is unmistakably an Irish Georgian signature. The scalloped fans beneath either side of the central drawer are likewise an Irish signal. The shape, design and style is entirely consistent with similar pieces made in Cork at the end of the 18th Century. It has it’s original brasses which is fantastic. Lions Head Ring drawer pulls and stunning urn keyhole covers/escutheons. It has a solid gallery back splat (with central Scallop) and on both sides this ends in curved and carved scroll ends. Beneath the back splat their is a grooved plank section for holding plates etc upright. The server/counter top area is edged and banded with a carved rope style edging. The mid section consists of 3 drawers and 2 doors. The piece sits on 6 legs 4 to the front and 2 to the rear. The front legs are pillars starting at the top with an acanthus style scroll … extending down to another scroll carving directly above the reeded and fluted legs. The 2 rear legs do not have the same fluting detail. The 2 side doors open to reveal a simple one shelf storage area. One probably held a lead lined cellarette at one time. The piece is in excellent condition for it’s age and use. There are some minor aging cracks on the counter top on the left hand side. A small loss of molding to the right lower door. No original keys but we are getting replacements made. Bought in Surrey, England in 1999 by a Private Texas Collector and shipped to Texas. We have the original ‘sales invoice’ and the dealer sold it as a “Regency Mahogany Sideboard circa 1820’and told her that it was an English piece, for the sum of 3,400 GBP. Not only did the dealer not recognize the obvious ‘Irish’ signs...
