Garrard & Co Silver Heron
Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2016 10:06 am
Silver heron, or silver Little Egret on a green marble base, large silver model of a heron, realistically modelled by Jane Barnard and made by Garrard & Co Limited ( Crown jewellers 1843-2007) and hallmarked for London 1976. Garrard have employed a number of free-lance modelers in the past who have been commissioned to create models from which castings have been made. I do not know if Jane Barnard designed or modelled any other (silver) items. By the way an Egret in Dutch is called Zilverreiger
11.5” high, weight 32 troy oz (not including the base)
Hallmarks for London 1976
Garrard & Co Ld
Modelled by Jane Barnard
My question has Garrard in the seventies produced a line of silver birds? If so are there any images available? My Google search did not reveal any.
