Thomas Chawner was also the father of silversmith Henry Chawner, and brother to silversmith William Chawner I, with whom he worked from 1758-68.
Condition : Excellent; possible crest erasure to terminal (however if so, done long enough ago that there is even and sufficient patination to the terminals)
