Description: | This plate is inscribed with the Coats of Arms for the City of Newcastle and with those of important families living in the area at this time. These references to the important families of Newcastle make this silver a significant piece of Newcastle history. The chosen silversmith George Garson worked in London. At this time London-made silver had a far greater status than silver made locally. This indicates that even when first made, this plate was an especially valued piece. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East metalwork living in the North East craft events art designers makers date period design | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
