This lot features a truly rare and complete set of sterling silver Objets de Bureau, which were commissioned by Rolls-Royce Motors from 1926 to 1937. These items were annually given as gifts to Rolls-Royce distributors and were never available for sale. Silversmiths Saunders and Shepherd made all the silver pieces, with the exception of the ashtray from Crown Jewelers Gerrard. The set includes a desk blotter, candy box, inkwell, cigarette box, table lighter, ashtray, bowl, tray, clock, and barometer. Each item in this set shows a level of silver craftsmanship that is not seen in modern-day pieces. The display also includes two marble bookends that are topped with the Spirit of Ecstasy; a Mulliner Park award for Bob Hall, which includes a gavel; and a ceramic blue dish that features the Spirit of Ecstasy.
