Description:
An impressive George IV sterling silver swing-handled kettle, by Hyam Hyams of London, circa 1826, with a band of acorns, oak and clover leaves and roses over a stippled ground above an overhanging acanthus border with shells, the ornate upright hanc 30.5 cm high, 2596 grams, (84.15oz). Hyam Hyams was active from 1813 to 1851, initially as a dealer in bullion, but mainly as a manufacturing silversmith and jeweller. In later years he traded as a goldsmith, watch and clock maker, money changer, and 'Bohemian glass importer'. At various times he had premises in Houndsditch, on Cornhill and old Bailey, all within a few minutes walk of each other. He was the Son of Solomon Hyams, who had also carried on a business as a silversmith and jeweller, having been admitted to the freedom of the city of London pursuant to resolutions of the court of Common Council in March 1835.
