Description:
A rare New Zealand Arts & Crafts silver salver by Marjorie R. Trenwith, circa 1950s, with relief border of trillium flowers and strap leaves, raised on three seedpod feet, the convex centre engraved with a tripartite floral crest. Stamped maker's monogram mark to base and 'ST. SIL'. Diameter 24.5 cm. Weight 638gm. Trenwith was born in Cambridge (N.Z.), during the 1940s she studied at the Otahuhu Technical Institute. She studied painting with Sydney Goldsmith and silversmithing with his wife Millicent. Following the family's move from Otahuhu to Paratai Drive, Trenwith turned the back porch into her workshop where she produced pieces for her family and as wedding gifts for friends. Never interested in selling, her work was featured in an exhibition at the Auckland Art Gallery in the 1950s. The London Guild of Silver issued her with her own stamp and sterling mark.
