Regimental Silverware
Designers, Manufacturers and Restorers of Military Silverware
We are proud of the heritage our country enjoys and this can especially be seen in the fabulous pieces of military silverware this country has produced. The Armed Forces have a long held tradition of silverware beautifully displayed during formal mess dinners. These pieces are the pride of the regiment and will often commemorate significant events or honours.
Over the years, we have had the privilege of restoring regimental pieces to their former glory and have enjoyed the challenge of researching their history. Ottewill have also had the pleasure of manufacturing new regimental silverware. Commissions have included projects as diverse as refurbishing and embellishing a 1942 vintage Vickers machine gun with silver and brass components for the Royal Tank Regiment through to ‘Blind Leading the Blind’, a silver centrepiece commissioned by the officers’ mess of the Defence CBRN Centre to mark 100 years of Counter Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear training at Winterbourne Gunner. The design being inspired by the famous John Singer Sargent painting ‘Gassed’. A behind the scenes ‘making of’ video of this piece can be viewed below. For more information, please contact us.
