Posted by admin On February 16, 2023

SUPERB RARE VERY EARLY ARCHIBALD KNOX Des. ART NOUVEAU VASE for LIBERTY & Co. This is a stunning quite rare and very early Archibald Knox designed Art Nouveau vase for Liberty & Co that dates, I would guess, to the first year of Liberty production (very low production number – 1902 is probably a fair guestimate). It is depicted in a waisted form with relief high Art Nouveau floral motif to its rim and’whiplash’ flower heads and stems as its handles. It is stamped to the base “TUDRIC”, with “029” mark. It measures 10″ (25.5cm) H x 6″ (16.75cm) W across the handles; and is in excellent condition with no defect at all to report apart from slightr general wear consistent with its age – see photographs and details. This is a stunning piece of rare very early period Knox designed pewter from an iconic company that’s in great condition and with a realistic, yet still low start price should, I’m sure, have great appeal to all collectors.

Posted by admin On August 10, 2021

For their CYMRIC range, fully assay marked for 1899. This is a rare early example and this design rarely comes up in auctions. Would make a wonderful gift or addition to a collection. It has a gorgeous and stunning design of fern leaves with a textured surface which catches the light. One of the earliest CYMRIC designs, it appears in the first CYMRIC catalogue of 1899/1900 – number 4 on the page of buttons (last photo). This beautiful leaf design typifies Art Nouveau’s love of the natural world. Specific designers for Liberty and Co. Were not advertised and crucial early records were lost, but it is known that Archibald Knox contributed many of the designs for CYMRIC silver and enamel jewellery at this time. Other designers for Liberty included Bernard Cuzner, Jessie King, Oliver Baker, Charles Voysey and David Veasey. In good antique condition, marked L&Co in the lozenge mark for Liberty, and fully assay marked with Birmingham anchor, lion passant for Sterling silver, date letter z for 1899.
