| Video Discription | Gerald Benney CBE (1930 - 2008) was perhaps the most important designer in the revival of the art of British silversmithing in post-World War II Britain. On 7 July 2022, Dreweatts have a wonderful collection of Post-War British silver coming to auction, including some stunning examples of Gerald Benney's iconic silver mastery. In this first video featuring the Gerald Benney highlights in the sale, Dreweatts Managing Director Jonathan Pratt tells us how, during the 1960s, a workshop accident of using a damaged hammer head whilst hand raising a cup bowl enabled Gerald to discover one of his most distinctive decorative features. The damaged hammer head had created a textured 'bark' finish on the pieces, rather than a plain polished surface, and Gerald incorporated this finish into many of his objects, and ultimately became known as the ‘Benney Bark Finish’. The sale features a set of six silver goblets (LOT 108) that demonstrate this attractive finish and which are estimated to fetch between £3000 - 5000 (+ fees) at auction in July. The British Royal Family have been major patrons of Gerald Benney, and he held four Royal Warrants in the 1970s and 1980s as Goldsmith and Silversmith to HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, HM The Queen, HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and HRH the Prince of Wales. His other achievements include Freeman of the Goldsmith's Company; Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths; Royal Designer for Industry and a Professorship at the Royal College of Art. Gerald’s pieces can be found in many important collections including at the Victoria and Albert Museum, The Crafts Council, and the Goldsmiths' Company.
