A good pair of George III silver Neo Classical two-handled sauce tureens and covers John Carter, London 1775 Each of oval form with bead rims, the sides with applied laurel festoons over oval paterae, upswept loop handles either side with bead knop and leafy lower junctions, lift-off covers with flower head motifs within a linear band, waisted domed centres, gadroon band above and with, acanthus, surmounted with stylised artichoke finials, length handle to handle 22cm, weight 48oz. (2) Footnotes: Provenance: With Mary Cooke Antiques Limited 2008 The Patrick and Mavis Walker Silver Collection The design of these tureens is attributed to the Neo Classical designs of the Royal architect Sir William Chambers. This design was first used by Sir William Chambers, based on drawings carried out by Chambers' pupil, John Yenn (1750-1821), now held in the Victoria and Albert Museum. First used by Chambers in the 1760's after the 4th Duke of Marlborough employed the celebrated architect to undertake extensive alterations to Blenheim Palace, and Marlborough House in London. The Duke also ordered a silver dinner service from Parker & Wakelin in this design attributed to Chambers. Stylistic similarities, as well as the use of heavy swags, can be seen in Chambers' model for a state coach for George III. Similarly, the festoons and paterae relate to Chambers' work on the East Gate at Blenheim. Some pieces from the Marlborough Service still survive at Blenheim Palace and other known examples are a Tureen in the Leeds City Art Gallery.
