Heavy open 3 ring hinge c.1875-1895
Mark c.1893-1960
Sir John Falstaff is one of the most famous comic characters in all English literature, appearing in four of Shakespeare’s plays and later in Giuseppe Verdi’s final opera Falstaff, which was inspired principally by Falstaff’s follies in Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor. Bardolph appears in both works as Falstaff’s drunken companion. This particular depiction for the central design is taken from a painting by Eduard von Grützner (1846-1925). - TBSL
