A Fine Pair of Brass Strung Mahogany Knife Urns with Armorials, Likely
These two urns are of unusually large scale and superb quality, the stringing of brass rather than the more usual boxwood. The rising lids supported on central pillars, the interiors fitted for the display and storage of cutlery. The escutcheon plates of gilt brass and below them are shields engraved with a demi-griffin segreant crest holding an axe. This crest is associated with the Wills family and it is likely that the knife urns were made for the branch of the family based around the village of Landrake in Cornwall.
