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. To arrange a free home visit throughout the West Country, please contact Richard Bromell, Partner at The Long Street Salerooms, Sherborne, Dorset DT9 3BS, 01935 812277.
