William Beckford an important pair of George III silver-gilt waiters by William Burwash London 1817 circular form the fronts with chased decoration on a matted background moulded borders the underside engraved with two crests on eight small bracket feet with chased shell and foliate decoration diameter 17.6cm approx. weight 22oz. (2) ** It has been suggested that these waiters may have been for use as decanter stands because of their weight and sturdy eight feet. They show clear influence of Renaissance gold work and also art of the Islamic world. It is possible that the waiters were designed by Gregorio Franchi the friend and Portuguese agent of Beckford. He is attributed to designing a silver-gilt sideboard dish of similar form now in the Victoria and Albert Museum. This like the waiters was made by William Burwash and is engraved with the Beckford arms. The first crest an erased heron’s head holding a fish in its beak and gorged with a collar of flory counterflory represents the ancestral crest for William Beckford inherited from his father Alderman William Beckford Lord Mayor of London in 1762 and 1769. The second is a crest of Augmentation assigned under the authority of the Earl Marshall dated 20 March 1810. Mr Beckford’s representation of a co-heir of the Abercon branch of the house of Hamilton is commemorated by the oak tree traversed by a frame saw inscribed with the word THROUGH. Allusion to Beckford’s descent from the first Lord Latimer through the Mervyn family Lords of Fonthill-Gifford is marked by the Latimer Shield Gules a cross flory Or pendent from the tree. Beckford also adopted the Mervyn motto DE DIEU TOUT in place of LIBERTAS ET NATALIE SOLUM used by his father. Provenance: William Beckford.
