This Victorian silver christening bowl decorated with the signs of the Zodiac, from William Gibson and John Langman, London 1886, is priced at £150 with silver dealer Robert Nevin. He will be exhibiting at Adams Antiques Fairs in London on May 26, as he has for the past 15 years.
The birth on May 6 of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s first child, Archie, is a timely occasion to mention antique christening gifts.
