LONDON NEFS

b1283: Sterling Silver Large Nef

b1283: Hallmarked In 1925

Carrying import marks for London in 1925 by Thomas Callow & Sons, this superb example of a Sterling Silver Nef, is a particularly fine representation of the 16th century style, elaborated detailed, and resting on 4 wheels to allow it to “sail” around the table. The top of the ship lifts off to reveal an empty hull. The nef measures 27.5"(70cm) tall, by 32"(81cm) wide, by 5.5"(13cm) deep, and weighs an impressive124.7 troy ounces.
