About the Item

The Viner Angling Shield Presentation Fishing Trophy with original Fitted Oak Wall Display Cabinet, the heart-shaped central plaque with embossed scene of a group of gentlemen fishing, a building and forest in the background. Around the sides of the plaque are a series of names of winners of the annual fishing competition ranging from the 1930s to 1980. The shield is held in its original custom made oak display cabinet with glazed door and rear wall suspension loop. The Viner Angling Shield is not mentioned in the newspapers of the time but it seems highly likely, especially given the quality of the silver utilised here, that it relates in some way to the firm of Viners of Sheffield, one of the UK’s most famous firms of silversmiths and cutlers. One of the more distinctive of the names of the winners of the piece, that of “H. Ruddiforth”, winner in 1959, relates to a family with Yorkshire roots and adds further to this hypothesis. A fascinating and highly unusual example of a presentation plaque, the integrated case making this quite probably a unique survivor and is of the highest quality.

Located in Lymington, Hampshire

This small oval George III silver salver is raised on four scroll feet with a plain field and curvetto within a triple reed border. The reverse is engraved ‘June 18th 1803 Valentine Munden’s Prize Money when on board the Exeter East Indiaman for the Capture of the French Frigate La Medée.’ Maker’s mark of John Crouch & Thomas Hannam, London 1792.

The Coutts and Neptune were unsuccessful in capturing a third frigate La Franchaise, but the action stands out as the only occasion during the Napoleonic Wars when a merchant vessel captured a French ship of war...
