Lot 369

A rare Victorian silver 'Castle Top' card case by Nathaniel Mills, Birmingham, date letter indistinct, possibly 1844, of rectangular form, the surface decorated with chased and embossed scrolling leaf and floral decoration to a matt background, the centre a high relief repoussé depiction of Robert Burns' monument in Alloway, Scotland, with Alloway Kirk and Burns' cottage in the background and the Brig O' Doon in the foreground, the heavily decorated reverse around a monogrammed cartouche, 2.4ozt 10 x 7cm (4 x 3in) Nathaniel Mills senior registered his mark in 1803 as one part of the partnership 'Mills and Langston'. In 1825 he left the partnership and concentrated on making silver items on his own, registering his now famous punch mark 'N.M' within a rectangle at the Birmingham Assay Office. Nathaniel Mills II was born in 1811 and worked for his father. Now famous for their high quality and well-constructed boxes, Mills contributed to the popularity of the so-called 'Castle-Top' silver visiting card cases engraved with British landmarks and sold as souvenirs to tourists and he became one of the most prolific Birmingham box makers at the time. They appealed to a public fascinated by novelty and became - and still are - highly collectible. Along with his brothers William and Thomas, he adopted new innovations and manufacturing techniques such as engine-turning, stamping and casting, and most of the items were made between 1840 and 1853. Nathaniel Mills died in 1873 a rich man, leaving £30,000 in his will and is buried in Warstone Lane Cemetery, in the heart of the Birmingham jewellery quarter. Calling cards were left behind by a visitor at the premises if the required person was not available. They served as both an introductory letter and a symbol of manners and social standing. The custom of leaving visiting cards lasted throughout the 19th century, however Castle Top silver was at the height of fashion between 1840 to 1860. This brief period of popularity makes these cases extremely collectible today. Most Castle Top silver is made by die stamping (pushing the metal out from behind using a stamp). The greater the decoration stands clear from the front of the cover, the harder it was to make, and these examples are highly sought after by collectors. Many scenes are quite common, such as Windsor castle, however the rarer the scene the more valuable the item. The record for a Castle Top card case stands at £9,800 which was for a very rare example of The Post Office, Dublin. The subject on this example is rare, and together with the unusually high relief makes this a particularly desirable piece.

Dublin - A Victorian silver fish slice, by Christopher Cummins,1837, tandem marked by George Brown, 'Fiddle' pattern, the blade decorated with two pierced fish and bright cut engraved designs, crested, 5.3ozt 30cm (12in) The custom of 'tandem marking' or striking an extra mark on silver to denote the retailer is thought to have started in Ireland the late 18th century - with other countries adopting the practice later - and carries on to this day. George Brown was a silver retailer located in 3 Fownes Street, Dublin between 1809 and 1856.

Dublin - An Edward VII silver dish ring, by James Wakely & Frank Wheeler, 1902, of pierced and concave form, the piercing of pastoral scenes around a vacant cartouche, 12ozt 10 x 21 x 20cm (4 x 8 x 8in) Other Notes: Dish rings are used to support bowls of hot food on a dining table, helping to insulate the hot bowls from highly varnished table tops. They were introduced at the end of the 17th century in France, England and Ireland. Most have different diameter rims so that they could be reversed to support containers of different sizes. So many 18th century Irish dish rings were made that they became virtually synonymous with Irish silverware and the nickname "Irish potato ring" was coined at the end of the 19th century. They are usually spool-shaped and their concave sides are decorated with pierced and engraved designs. As well as being decorative and a display of the silversmith's skills, piercing also had a practical benefit, allowing the air under hot dishes to be vented. In the early 20th century there was a revival of interest for collecting silver with "ethnic characteristics" and this increased the popularity of dish rings again as with this example.
