Lot 492

A George III 18th century silver hot water urn and cover, mark of Daniel Smith & Robert Sharp, London, 1770, of traditional pear shaped form with gadrooned waist and two fixed reeded shell mask hook handles, fluted spigot terminating in a lion mask and with fluted ivory tap, engraved to the front with the arms of MONOUX impaling RIDDELL, and to the back with the arms of at present an unidentified family impaling FRANCKLIN quartering MONOUX, unmarked friction fitting domed cover with gadrooned rim and foliate decoration terminating in an acorn finial, lower rim with bayonet fitting to the base with locating flange, capstan upper with gadrooned rims, engraved with matching MONOUX/RIDDELL arms as above, on a square base, each side with an applied rosette, 13.5 x 13.5cm at the base, 46cm high, 111.7ozt grossProvenance: From the estate of the late Barry Lock (1934-2021)The arms to the front of the urn and on the plinth, given the date of hallmarking, commemorate the marriage of Sir Philip Monoux, (circa 1739 - 1805), the 5th Baronet of Wootton, Bedfordshire and Elizabeth Riddell (circa 1739 - 1814). Philip and Elizabeth were married on 22nd June 1762. He was the only son of Humphrey Monoux and his wife, Mary Savage, whilst Elizabeth was the daughter of Ambrose Riddell, of Eversholt, Bedfordshire. Philip’s great grandfather was Humphrey Monoux, of Wootton and was created as a Baronet, styled ‘of Wootton’ on 4th December 1660. Philip succeeded his cousin, Sir Humphrey Monoux, the 4th Baronet of Wootton on 3rd December 1757. Philip was admitted as a Member of Gray’s Inn on 18th July 1754. He also served as a Major in the Bedfordshire Militia and served as the High Sheriff of Bedfordshire for the year 1763 – 64The arms to the back of the urn commemorate a marriage of an unnamed gentleman to a daughter of the Francklin family. Given the evidence of the earlier Monoux arms, it appears that this urn came down through the family to an unnamed granddaughter of Sir Philip Monoux, the 5th Baronet of Wootton and his wife, Elizabeth. This granddaughter would have been probably the child of Judith Riddell Monoux (baptised 1st April 1774 died 9th May 1813), the daughter of Sir Philip and Elizabeth. We know that Judith married a gentleman by the name of Richard Francklin (died 1843) at the Parish Church of St. Swithun on the 26th February 1807. Sadly, due to the lack of genealogical information, it has not be possible to identify with any certainty Richard and Judith’s daughter or the identity of her husband.This item is offered for sale in accordance with the Ivory Act 2018 and has been assigned an exemption certificate Ref No: YK8VT7S9Overall in good condition with no obvious sign of damage or repair.

Minor cracking to the ivory at the junction with the silver. Bayonet fitting to the base firm and positive. Flange to the base a little out of shape but this does not affect the fitting. Hallmarks and engraving clear and readable. Not tested for leakage and the tap has not been tested.

William Staniland of Selby appears to have been a merchant trader and owner of a number of merchant vessels, who later became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. In 1812 there were numerous brigs named 'William' listed in Lloyds registers and there is no way of knowing which one is referred to in the engraving. There appears to be no recorded connection between the presenter or recipient other than this handsome coffee pot.This item is offered for sale in accordance with the Ivory Act 2018 and has been assigned an exemption certificate Ref No: 9KYVHQ5N.
