A substantial Victorian sterling silver tankard by the Barnard Brothers, London, 1843. The body is repoussé with a battle scene of soldiers on horseback and cannon, centered beneath a spout cast as the mask of a Bacchic river god. The domed lid opens to a gilded interior, and the base is encircled by a bold “C” scroll and floral border in the Rococo Revival taste. The Barnard family firm—descended from the 18th-century workshop of Anthony Nelme and active through four generations—was among London’s foremost silversmiths of the early Victorian era, celebrated for their masterful repoussé work and sculptural presentation pieces.
