More Channel Islands silver to add to over 250 pieces dispersed as part of the Paint collection at Martel Maides earlier this year came to auction recently. This c.1760 silver sauce boat above took a five-times estimate £5200 at Thomson Roddick (20% buyer’s premium) of Dumfries on December 9.
The 12oz boat, catalogued as by Jean Henry of Guernsey, went to a local buyer. Several Channel Islanders who had registered as online bidders provided the opposition.
