The arms are those of Chapman impaling Pearson for the Chapman family of Summer Hill Plantation, Arlington County, Virginia.

This piece is documented by both a rare 19th century family tintype of the salver and a picture of the Chapman Family silver in "The History of the Alexander and Chapman Family in Virginia," by Sigismunda Mary Frances Chapman, 1946, Madison, WI, Dietz Printing Company.

Provenance:
Charles C. Williams (1925-1996)
Helen C. Calvert, 1990

For an identical salver by John Swift, also with a history of Virginia family ownership, see "English Silver at Williamsburg," by John D. Davis, 1976, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, page 134.
