Important set of six English silver plates, work of the silversmith Richard Sibley in London in 1834, representative of the high level reached by the British goldsmith in the first half of the XIX century. Each piece has a molded rim with elegant perimeter fretwork, framing a surface of refined lines and high polish quality.

The official London hallmarks are preserved, along with the silversmith's mark, which certifies its authenticity and chronological accuracy. The presence of a finely engraved heraldic coat of arms, linked to Lord Amherst, Viceroy of India, is especially noteworthy, providing a solid historical provenance and significant interest for collectors.

Due to its overall coherence, quality of execution and historical relevance, this is a service of remarkable prestige, suitable for both representative tables and specialized collections of English silver.
