Charterhouse Silver and Jewellery Auction Aug 15
Published July 14th, 2008
A rare early 17th century silver chalice and paten, which languished in a Kew attic for over 25 years has been entered into the Charterhouse auction of silver and jewellery in August.
The chalice and paten dates to circa 1625-30 and was made in York by James Plummer. Today, York silver is highly prized amongst collectors and the Charterhouse chalice is estimated to fetch £6,000-8,000 when it goes under their hammer on Friday 15th August.
Charterhouse is now accepting further entries for their forthcoming programme of specialist Summer auctions including Beswick & Royal Doulton with wine port & spirits on Thursday 14th August, silver, plate and jewellery Friday 15th August and clocks and collectors items on Friday 12th September.
