Lot 156
A rare late 17th century English provincial silver tankard, maker`s mark only, for Gabriel Felling of Bruton Somerset, circa 1690, struck four times on base, three times on body, once on lip of cover, once on the handle, of tapering cylindrical form resting on a moulded foot with an applied girdle above, the scroll handle with a stylised scroll thumbpiece, the flat hinged cover later altered to a domed cover, probably in the early 18th century, engraved with a crest, 17.5 cm high, 24 oz. See Timothy Kent`s article in the Silver Society`s Journal Vol II/11 - 13. 219 (1976-1979) and his book `West Country Silver Spoons and Their Makers 1550-1750`, (1992). Gabriel Felling was one of the most important and accomplished of the later 17th/early 18th century provincial goldsmiths. He is recorded in 1676 as in the employ of John Cassan who worked in Drury Lane and was one of Charles II`s royal goldsmiths. He was a Protestant refugee immigrant and, probably in light of the anti-immigrant agitation by the London Goldsmiths` Company, took the opportunity to quit London in 1676 or 1677. By 1678, he was at Bruton in East Somerset. This move could well have taken place under the patronage of the Berkeley family, predominant in court circles and whose interests here were extensive. Having worked under John Cassan, he was well qualified to produce the fine items which bear either of his two marks. The first mark is the initials `GF` above a swan in a shaped shield. The second mark, which is used on this tankard, is the initials `GF` in a plain rectangular shield, although the shape of the shield on the tankard is slightly different. This appears on the London Company`s copper plate on which many makers` marks dating from the last quarter of the 17th century are struck. This mark has been found on other tankards, trefid spoons and church plate in the Bruton area. One of his finest pieces is a cagework two handled cup and cover and salver which are on loan to the Bristol Museum by the Colerne Parish in Wiltshire, who in turn were presented these pieces by the Hon. Mrs Elizabeth Forrester in 1774. We would like to thank Tim Kent for his generous advice and assistance with this catalogue entry and to Lucy Morton for kindly digging out the Silver Society`s Journals.
