Marvellous goblets.In perfect condition as shown in 24 sets of photographs attached. Please browse all photographs for size, weight and condition as they are self explanatory.


Not new and around 100 years old but in superb order without any silver plate loss or any dents whatsoever.


Fantastic quality. Beautifully made by British master silversmiths of the highest order “Barker Ellis”. Lovely weight and feel. In fact all goblets are, remarkably, almost exactly identical in weight! They weigh approximately 180g each, give or take a couple of grams! Attention to detail is breathtaking!


They need to be seen and handled close up to be fully appreciated as the photographs attached really do not do these justice. They would not look out of place on the most grand of tables anywhere on earth. Marvellous example of the very best of British silversmith manufacturing.


George V was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936.


The esteemed Barker Ellis Silver Co Ltd was originally established in 1801 and is one of the oldest firms of silversmiths and electroplaters trading in Birmingham UK. The Barker Brothers were also known as Barker Ellis. The business is listed as Barker Brothers in the Post Office Directory of Birmingham from 1871 as Barker Brothers, the company became Barker Brothers Silvermiths Ltd in 1907.


The Barker Brothers enjoyed success during this period, and produced silverware from offices in both Birmingham and Chester, with the items crafted in Chester being created under the supervision of Herbert Edward Barker & Frank Ernest Barker themselves.


During the 1960s The Barker Brothers Silversmiths merged with Ellis & Co., also of Birmingham, and the business went through a period of being a subsidiary to Pentos PLC, eventually returning to private ownership in 1984. The company maintained premises in London until the mid-1980’s, firmly establishing its reputation for high quality silverware and electroplate goods.


The Barker Brothers were known for producing utilitarian silver, flatware and tableware, and their silverware encompassed many popular styles of the era; such as Queen Anne, Art Deco and Nouveau - no doubt influenced by the silversmiths who joined the company as its reputation grew. Their success is certainly due to their ability to adapt and produce a variation of styles, moving with the popular fashion in silverware at the time.
