Three George I casters

Dave Frothingham submits to ASCAS members this set of three George I casters of octagonal baluster form with applied swags and shell decoration.

The tallest is 8 1/2" (cm. 22) in height and the other two 6 1/2"(cm. 16,5).

They are of britannia standard silver and were made in 1720 by Thomas Bamford, a specialist castermaker apprenticed in 1703 and entering his own mark in 1720.
