Pewter Charger, Engraved, Wriggle Worked Rim, Eagle, Soldiers, Sun Face, Flags
Swiss Maker’s Mark, (Geneva maker IF) French Quality Mark, 18th Century
An Intriguing Piece Awaiting Translation
The figures may be Germanic; soldier on the left appears to be an Austrian grenadier and the guy on the right, wearing tricorn hat and priming-flask is probably a Prussian artillerymen or infantrymen. Then again, we could hypothesize that displayed are a Spanish grenadier and a French artillery or infantryman, whereas the Spanish also wore single-breasted coats without lapels during this period and large grenadier caps of the form depicted. The eagle was used by the Hapsburgs heavily and the Prussian monarchy. The lion may be British-Hanoverian royalty. The symbolism of three rings interlocked might refer to the alliance of Austria, Germany and Britain during the Seven Years' War. Is the key a Masonic device? We have networked with respected scholars, yet; we have not reached conclusion, perhaps you can help.
This terrific item just in; we are open to discussion, please contact us if interested!
