George III Sterling Silver Jug by John Deacon, London, 1772This exquisite jug, made by John Deacon in London in 1772, is a superb example of British silversmithing from the time of George III. The interior of the jug is gilded, highlighting its luxury and status. The engraved and embossed rural scene on the outside depicts a farmer with a plough and a cow grazing in a field, adding a rural feel to the composition. Birds in flight decorate the spout of the jug, while the unengraved cartouche on the front is ideal for a dedicatory inscription, adding an aristocratic touch. The finial is in the shape of a cow, a popular symbol in decorative motifs of the period. The massive handle is complemented by an openwork element for easy opening, which gives the product additional elegance. Dimensions of the jug: height 24.5 cm, length 21 cm. Weight: 1042 grams. Hallmarks: master John Deacon, London, 1772, additional late hallmark HH Henry Holland, a famous master of the mid-19th century, active in London in 1840-59. Historical background: John Deacon was an outstanding English jeweler and silversmith of the 18th century, who left a significant mark on the history of British craft. His career began on January 19, 1759, when he was apprenticed to John Moore, a famous master of his time. The training lasted seven years, and on July 2, 1766, Deacon received the title of master, which allowed him to begin independent work. The first official record of his work as an independent craftsman is on 11 September 1776, when he registered his hallmark at 23 Greenhills Rents, St John Street. However, there is evidence to suggest that he began working earlier, as references to his activities can be found in a lost masters’ book before 1773. According to historian Heale, John Deacon is also mentioned as a goldsmith working in Addle Street in 1771. In 1773, John Deacon’s name appears in a parliamentary report as a minter at 1 Love Lane, Wood Street. This period of his career is characterized by high activity in the production of silver and jewelry, testifying to his skill and professionalism. Deacon’s work was respected and in demand among customers, which confirms his status in the craft environment of that time. Despite his creative success, John Deacon faced financial difficulties. In April 1775 he was registered as bankrupt in Wood Street, which probably led to the end of his professional career. However, his contribution to the development of English silversmithing remains an important chapter in the history of 18th century jewellery. Henry Holland (1842 – 1850) Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater was founded in 1838 by Henry Holland (the elder). In the same year he registered his first hallmark at the London Goldsmiths` Hall and began a partnership with Thomas Frercks, trading as Holland & Frercks in Clerkenwell. However, their partnership ended in 1841 when Frercks retired. Henry Holland continued the business on his own and around 1850 his eldest son, Henry Holland (the younger), joined him. In 1851 Henry junior was granted his freedom by the Goldsmiths` Company and the firm was renamed Henry Holland & Son. In 1866 the company expanded its scope by purchasing Elizabeth Eaton & Son and moving to Aldersgate Street. In the 1880s the business was taken over by John Aldwinckle and James Slater and the firm was renamed Holland, Son & Slater. In 1883 Henry Holland (junior) left the company and it became known as Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater. Over time the partnership was joined by James Slater`s sons and in 1922 the company was acquired by Francis Higgins & Son Ltd. Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater continued in business until 1932.
