This exquisite pewter double-lipped sauce boat by Pierre Deux is a refined reproduction of a rare George I English silver form dating to the early 18th century. Distinguished by its graceful twin spouts, elegant curvature, and scrolled handle, this form was emblematic of the Georgian era’s emergence of formal dining—a time when the table became a stage for ceremony, hierarchy, and refinement.
The original design is not only beautiful but historically significant. In 2023, a sterling silver version of this exact form sold at auction for $19,000 for a pair (see photo from auction house), underscoring its rarity and desirability among collectors of English silver. These sauce boats, once found on the tables of Britain’s landed gentry, symbolized prestige and cultivated taste.
Pierre Deux, known for honoring European decorative traditions with impeccable craftsmanship, has recreated this iconic vessel in richly weighted hand-cast pewter. It retains the stature and sculptural quality of the original, with a warmth and softness unique to pewter—making it both a striking display piece and a functional object of historical elegance. In excellent condition and measures 8” x 7” x 4” high.
