Robert Hennell I Silver | William Walter

Robert Hennell I

The firm Hennell Ltd is a long-lasting family business of silversmiths founded in 1725 by David Hennell (1712 - 1785). His son Robert Hennell I (1741 - 1811) joined the company in partnership in 1763, and became sole owner of the business after his father’s retirement. He was soon joined by his son, Samuel Hennell (1778 - 1837), and his nephew Robert Hennell II. After his apprenticeship with his uncle and the engraver John Houle, he gained his freedom in 1785 and started working mainly as an engraver. In 1808, he entered his first mark on his own, soon becoming one of the most prolific silversmiths of the Regency period. The firm - based from 1817 at 3 Lancaster Court, Strand - specialised in domestic silver, salts, cruets, tea, and coffee sets often delicately engraved or finely pierced. After Robert’s retirement in 1833, his sons took over the business. The firm is still running in London's Bond Street with the name Frazer & Haws and Hennells.

This is a wonderful handmade silver model of Chris

This is a wonderful handmade silver model of Christopher Columbus’ ship the ‘Santa Maria’ made in Porto, 1950.

The ship is beautifully represented with fine filigree work and enamel. It is mounted on a dark green marble plinth.

This superb model is in excellent condition and has the sort of handwork which will, probably, never be repeated.
