About the Item

A large and impressive 19th Century Scottish silver mounted horn table snuff mull This striking piece exemplifies the grandeur and ceremony often associated with communal snuff-taking. Crafted from richly toned natural horn, the mull is mounted with finely worked silver detailing, including a hinged lid and decorative finial, lending a sense of refinement to its rustic form. The silver cartouche bears an engraved inscription: John Stark Kinghorn, 27th August 1829, suggesting it was likely a commemorative or presentation piece. Both utilitarian and ornamental, this handsome object offers a fascinating glimpse into Scottish social customs of the period and makes a compelling addition to any collection of antique tobacciana or Georgian silver. The piece is not hallmarked, as often with snuff mulls. CONDITION In Good Condition - Some wear commensurate with age, the silver is tarnished but can be cleaned on request. Please refer to photographs. SIZE Height: 5.5 cm // 2.17 inches Width: 21.5 cm // 8.46 inches Depth: 9 cm // 3.54 inches

A Very Fine and Historically Significant George III Silver Mounted Powder Horn
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
This fine powder horn has silver mounts by the silversmiths Thomas Phipps and Edward Robinson, hallmarked for London, 1803. The charger on the horn has three adjustments and a side lever system and the wider end of the horn has a silver cap engraved with two crests, shields and family mottoes. The crests are for the Maitland and Dick families and represent the lineage of Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland. The Maitland line, represented by the lion crest and the motto Consilio et Animus represents the arms of the male line. Maitland’s father, also Frederick Lewis Maitland (1730-1786), had an interesting and successful naval career though was rather overshadowed by the later successes of his son. The martlet (small bird) crest and motto In Domino Confido is the female line, in this case Margaret Dick, daughter of Viscount Frendraught. The Dick family was important in the clan hierarchy in Scotland, being the head of Clan Crichton and heir to Clan Makgill at this time. Provenance Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland KCB (1777-1839) and thence by descent Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland KCB (1777-1839) Born in Fife, Maitland was the father of a distinguished naval officer as discussed above. Mailtand joined the navy straight from school and, whilst serving on the frigate HMS Southampton under captain Robert Forbes...
