Early C18th 'S & W' Monogrammed English Pewter 'Sadware' Plate - Made in London
This stunning and very heavyweight English pewter plate, dates to between 1700-1840, though based on its broad flat edged style and simple engraving, we believe it to be towards the earlier part of that date range. It features a gorgeous, most honest aged patina, marked through years of use; engraved with its owners initial's 'S & W' likely husband and wife. A beautifully simple display piece, or a special item for a collector.
Key Points:
• A heavyweight antique pewter (sadware) plate
• Beautifully rustic styling
• Engraved S&W to front rim
• Fully marked to back, made in LONDON
• Excellent yet characterful condition throughout
Good to know:
To its reverse it bears a crowned X, which came into use during the late seventeenth century to indicate both the hardness of the alloy and an indication of very high quality wares. It further displays a partially visible crown 'touchmark', and with words LONDON in a lozenge under, along with four pseudo hallmarks, one which appears to be a castle, the others are unclear, so, as too is its maker.

c. 1700-1840

Buyers Guide:
It is very important to note, that all the pieces Roof + Roof sell are genuine pieces of age, each having a rich and varied past and are never sold as in new condition. With this in mind, minor blemishes, surface scratches, manufacturing flaws and a general sense of their age and history are naturally to be expected. We always try, to the best of our ability to honestly and clearly communicate an items condition, both in our description and photography, highlighting anything over and above what we perceive as ‘general age related wear and tear’.
