George II silver oval tureen and cover by George Wickes, London 1737, on four lion-mask and claw and ball capped feet, the handles cast as the crest of Fane (a bull's head), the body applied with cast amorials of Fane and Rowe within rococo cartouches, the stepped and domed lid with cast and applied the crests of Fane in rococo cartouches and classical heads within rococo shell and foliate decoration on textured backgrounds, the cast scroll handle with highly stylised lion mask, paw and leaf decoration, fully hallmarked on the lid and body, scratch weight 151 oz 3d, 42cm (18.5in) long, 4035g (129.7oz). The Garrard Ledgers in The Victoria & Albert Museum Archives Library show the following entry in George Wickes' accounts: 'Henry Fane 4 August 1737 'Turreen & cover' (sic) 131ozs .10; cost £55.0s.0d.'. The accounts state that Henry Fane paid for the tureen 20 August 1737, in cash the sum of £57. 15s., which included other work carried out. The castings of the handles on this tureen had been used by Wickes on an earlier tureen for Lord North in 1735. Another tureen, made for Frederick, Prince of Wales in 1743, employed the same cast handle and lion masks and paw feet. Similar handle and feet castings were later used by Paul de Lamerie on a tureen of 1751. Literature: Barr, E.
