Description
Antique English pewter broad rim charger of impressive large size. The rim is engrave with a mantled coat of arms, and also bears a set of hallmarks for an unrecorded maker. The reverse rim bears a shield shaped possible makers mark along with a triad 'G' over 'G E'.
Notes on the arms (courtesy of Bonham's):
The arms on this charger are unhatched - the tinctures (colours) of the arms are not designated - and so it is difficult to arrive at a definitive identification of the families they represents.
The dexter arms were borne (in a variety of combinations of tinctures) by various branches of the PALMER family. The sinister arms are probably those of PARKER, first granted by letters patent in 1537 to Henry Parker of Frith Hall, Essex. If this identification is correct, this coat of arms represents the marriage of a male of the Palmer family and a woman bearing the name Parker.
The only identified marriage between a Palmer man and a Parker woman was solemnized in 1645, when Richard Palmer married Olive Parker in Allexton, Leicestershire. The will of Olive Palmer of Loddington, Leicester was proved on 1 February 1678/9.
It is possible, therefore, that the arms on this charger represent the union between the Parker and Palmer families of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. Three escutcheons, each charged with a pheon are carved in stone above the porch of the Old House, Kibworth Harcourt, Leicestershire. The building also bears the date 1678. It is believed to have been built by William Parker (d. 1699), whose memorial tablet is in Kibworth Beauchamp church.
It is possible that the Richard Palmer who married Olive Parker was a member of the Palmer family of East Carlton, Northamptonshire and Carlton Curlieu, Leicestershire – both very close to Kibworth Harcourt – the most prominent member of which was Geoffrey Palmer (1598-1670), lawyer, MP, royalist and Attorney General, who was knighted and elevated to a baronetcy upon the Restoration in 1660.

Cancellations and Returns
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.

Can I return an item?
Consumers based in the UK and European Union can request to return the Goods on Vinterior up to 14 days after the Goods have been received. Once accepted, the buyer is in charge of the shipment and should organise it as soon as possible (except in the case of a return of faulty Goods).
To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.
Additionally, the Customer may not return an item for "inaccurate listing” reason when its dimensions or other characteristics do not fit its requirements. We strongly recommend that buyer measures all access areas prior to making a purchase.
If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.
The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
