    Irish 18th century silver mounted marine ivory scrimshaw

    This Irish 18th century silver mounted marine ivory scrimshaw made a hammer price of £1,400 at Warren and Wignall Auctioneers sale in Lancashire today. It had been estimated at £200-£300. One side is decorated with a galleon and inscribed ‘St Claire’. There is a sailor on the other side. It is dated 1798 with Dublin marks and an MK makers mark. This is the mark of Michael Keating who had a shop at Cole Alley, Castle St., Dublin. It is scheduled to go on display at the Waterford Irish Silver Museum early in 2023.
