Another early rarity is a Charles II Scottish trefid-spoon which is marked for Edinburgh, circa 1670. It is one of a number of early spoons and items of flatware which are offered in the sale.
Leading the sale is a rare silver-mounted sandstone match-holder in the form of an elephant. Made for Faberge in St Petersburg by his Workmaster Julius Rappoport circa 1890 it is believed to have originated from Clifton Castle, near Ripon. Other European highlights include two 18th century Maltese sugar-bowls and covers and two charming Dutch silver miniature toys. The 20th century silver includes the final instalment of napkin-rings from the Lion Collection. The examples offered in this sale include Arts and Crafts examples, made in the very early years of the 20th century, and later examples by some of the best known silversmiths of the late 20th century, including Stuart Devlin, Grant MacDonald and Chris Knight.
