This silver fender, created by the English silversmith David Clayton between 1715 and 1725, is a testament to the artistry of the period. The simple yet elegant design features a flat, rectangular shape with subtle curves, showcasing the beauty of the silver's natural sheen. The object was part of a set and used to protect the hearth and surrounding areas from sparks and embers, reflecting a common household practice of the time. Its presence in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City highlights its significance as a piece of early 18th-century English silverwork.
