A pair of Gilbert Marks wine goblets signed 1900

Just when you think you have seen it all before along comes a really wonderful surprise. For sale as two pairs are these Gilbert Marks wine goblets. Both pairs are assayed for London 1899. Each is identically signed to the foot “Gilbert Marks” and this pair is dated 1900 (the other 1899).  Whilst clearly two identical pairs in terms of overall design, size and gauge, each has a different floral pattern. These two from 1900 appear to be poppies and maybe wild roses.

Gilbert Marks silver is rare in any shape or form but I have never seen wine goblets by him.  They are very useable and would befit a traditional or contemporary setting. This is Gilbert Marks at his best.  The condition of  this pair is excellent and original. Gauge is excellent.  They are hard to put down with or without wine in.  Provenance of these goblets is to Lord and Lady Swaythling (see Christies sale 27th May, lot 1017).

Gilbert Marks was perhaps the most skilled silversmith of his generation and in his short career produced some magnificent pieces of artistic silver.
