Edwardian silver trophy cup & wood base
9503
Classic, heavy-gauge two-handled silver trophy cup and ebonised wood base from the Edwardian era at the start of the 20th century. The cup's plain body features a simple applied girdle and lends itself to engraving the event or occasion's name.
Including the base, the total height is 14¼" (360 mm).
We can add a silver band to the wooden base for engraving winners' names and dates, for an additional cost.
Trophies have marked victories since ancient times. The word trophy, coined in English in 1550, was derived from the French trophée in 1513 - a prize of war. In ancient Greece, trophies were made on the battlefields while the Romans built magnificent trophies in Rome, including columns and arches and huge stone memorials.
Today a trophy is a tangible, durable reminder of a specific achievement, and serves as recognition or evidence of merit. Trophies in the form of silver chalices, or two-handled cups, are popular items presented to winners of sporting events and include some of the world's most famous trophy cups: The FA Cup, Wimbledon Trophy (two-handled cup), Webb Ellis Cup, Ryder Cup and the British Grand Prix Trophy.
