EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant illustration showcases a selection of exquisite wedding presents from the renowned British jewellers and silversmiths, Mappin and Webb. Founded in 1775 by Jonathan Mappin and later joined by George Webb in 1864, the company has a rich history spanning over two centuries. In the late 1800s, Mappin and Webb were known for their exceptional craftsmanship and high-quality silverware. The illustration features a charming assortment of presents that would have graced the tables of Victorian brides and grooms during their weddings. The centrepiece is a beautiful clock with a built-in barometer, an essential item for monitoring the weather in the 19th century. The clock's ornate design reflects the attention to detail and fine craftsmanship that Mappin and Webb were famous for. Surrounding the clock are various silver serving pieces, including a serving dish, sauce boat, silver vase, and butter dish. These items would have been used to serve food during wedding feasts and were often given as wedding presents. The tongs, a practical yet elegant addition to the set, would have been used to handle hot dishes or serve food directly from the oven. This illustration is taken from 'Our Ladies Pages: Fashions in Millinery', a publication that showcased the latest trends in fashion, millinery, and home decor. The illustration provides a glimpse into the world of Victorian weddings and the role that Mappin and Webb played in providing the finest silverware for these special occasions. The illustration dates back to 1895, a time when traditional values and elegance were at the heart of weddings and Mappin and Webb's exceptional silverware was a must-have for any newlywed couple.
