EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricate lithograph print captures the elegance and historical significance of Queen Elizabeth's Salt Cellar. Created by Affabel Partridge, a renowned goldsmith to Queen Elizabeth I, this silver-gilt salt-cellar is adorned with the London hallmark and dates back to 1572-3. Displayed alongside other coronation regalia and banqueting plate in the Tower of London, this exquisite piece holds a fascinating story. While its association with Queen Elizabeth I was likely invented in the nineteenth century, suggested by the presence of a Tudor rose inside its cover, it is believed that Charles II acquired it around 1660 to replace crown jewels destroyed during Oliver Cromwell's Civil War. The ornate design of this salt cellar showcases exceptional craftsmanship from an era long gone. Its elaborate details make it a true treasure for collectors and enthusiasts alike. This vintage card offers viewers a glimpse into British history, reminding us of the opulence and grandeur associated with royalty. As we admire this snapshot from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to an era where banquets were lavish affairs filled with splendorous table settings like these. The combination of silver gilt and intricate detailing on display here exemplifies both English artistry and royal extravagance. Whether you appreciate historical memorabilia or simply marvel at artistic beauty, this image encapsulates all that is majestic about Great Britain's rich cultural heritage.
