Lee & Wigfull silver plated Victorian sugar bowl likely from a tea set
Beautiful detailing on this twin handled piece - the beading and chase work is top level from a very well respected silver merchant of its stime
George Lee was active in Charlotte Street Works, Sheffield, together with Henry Wigfull from 1871
The firm was described as Manufacturing Silversmith, Electro Plater and Britannia Metal Smith.
The partnership between George Shadford Lee and Henry Wigfull was dissolved in 1870.
The business was continued by Henry Wigfull under the same style and address (John Street Works, Sheffield).
The firm was converted in 1899 into a limited liability company under the style of Lee & Wigfull (Sheffield) Ltd. The firm used the trade marks ALBION SILVER and INSIGNIA PLATE
A very robust piece with little or no dents, some tarnishing but polishes well
