EDITORS COMMENTS
The Kirkleatham Centrepiece, 1731-32 (silver) is a stunning example of Georgian silverware crafted by the renowned Huguenot goldsmiths David Willaume and Anne Tanqueray. This exquisite piece, now housed in Leeds Museums and Art Galleries at Temple Newsam House in the UK, showcases their exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The centrepiece features a central tureen with detachable branches for four elegant candlesticks, six casters (two large and four smaller), four glass silver-mounted cruets, and four small dishes. It was commissioned by Cholmley Turner of Kirkleatham, MP for York, who had his arms engraved on the dishes and his crest adorning the detachable pieces. This magnificent table setting captures the opulence of Georgian dining culture. Its intricate design reflects both the artistic skill of its creators and the grandeur associated with formal dinner services during this period. The delicate engravings on each individual element add an extra touch of sophistication to this already impressive display. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to an era where fine dining was not just about sustenance but also a statement of wealth and status. The Kirkleatham Centrepiece stands as a testament to the artistry that went into creating these luxurious objects that adorned aristocratic tables.
