THOMAS CHAWNER, LONDON, 1776

 

 

 

 

 In the Hanoverian pattern, with upturned tips and shell-form bowls. 

 

Thomas Chawner was apprenticed to Ebenezer Coker, and is said to have held an appointment to the Mint. 

He was a gentleman and held Arms.  He is also said to have held an appointment at the Royal Mint.

 

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)

and has a plain surface with reeded upper edge
