Antique Sterling silver Walter Wilkinson golf trophy, made in Birmingham, England, 1933 and presented in 1934. <br><br>
Measures 9 1/4 inches high. Weighs 291.5grams. <br><br>
Beautifully elegant trophy, stands on a stepped round foot, with knopf leading to the round cup with triple raised waist, seemingly anchored by arching fan-like tie-backs. On either side are wonderful handles with moulded and engraved foliage curling up and a great Art Nouveau whiplash double loop at the bottom. The equally elegant, tightly fitting lid ends in a fabulous figure of a golfer taking a swing. Wonderful detail - you can feel the power as his jacket sweeps back in the opposite direction to the golf club.<br> The front of the trophy is engraved Walter WIlkinson Replica Cup. Winner 1934 R.P. Lindner. Apparrently Mr Wilkinson was a famous golfer and hunter. <br><br>
The trophy is hallmarked on the side, near one handle: FCR (maker's mark), anchor for Birmingham, date letter J for 1933 and lion passant. Underneath the cup is the engraved name of the maker: FC RICHARDS BIRMINGHAM. <br><br>
Good condition. |
