His interest in metalwork started when he was chief assistant to the architect J.D. Sedding.  Apart from his jewellery, Wilson was chiefly famous for his Byzantinizing ecclesiastical work. A representative selection was included in the exhibition of Victorian Church Art at the Victoria and Albert Museum (1971).  He deigned comparatively few pieces of domestic silver, but he made two chafing dishes at about the same time, showing one at the Ghent exhibition of 1913 (catalogue number 1020) and at the Paris Exhibition of British Decorative Arts held in 1914 (catalogue number 806).  Guthlac Wilson, Henry Wilson's son, lent one of the two dishes to the exhibition, <u>Victorian and Edwardian Decorative Arts</u>, 1952 which was subsequently acquired by the Goldsmiths' Company.","physicalDescription":"Chafing dish, cover and stand:  silver, with applied gold decoration.  Shallow circular bowl, annulated with applied wires and vine and leaf ornaments.  The domed cover similarly decorated, rising to a turreted structure edged with silver mouldings and gilt vines.  A figure of a nude woman spinning forms the finial.  The stand supported on four tapering legs, lozenge shaped in section, decorated with parallel ivory lines.  Between them, cast vines supported on stretchers embellished with rope wires.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Henry Wilson","id":"A6194"},"association":{"text":"designer and maker","id":"x34662"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silver","id":"AAT11029"},{"text":"gold","id":"AAT11021"}],"techniques":[{"text":"raising","id":"AAT237068"},{"text":"chasing","id":"AAT54016"},{"text":"casting","id":"AAT53104"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silver, raised chased and cast with applied gold decoration.","categories":[{"text":"Food vessels & Tableware","id":"THES48952"},{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"}],"styles":[{"text":"Arts and Crafts","id":"AAT21205"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2012FT0912","2012FT0913","2012FT1050","2012FT1051"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"67","id":"THES49731"},"free":"","case":"7","shelf":"2","box":""},{"current":{"text":"67","id":"THES49731"},"free":"","case":"7","shelf":"2","box":""},{"current":{"text":"67","id":"THES49731"},"free":"","case":"7","shelf":"2","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Dish","id":""}],[{"text":"Cover","id":"x47856"}],[{"text":"Stand","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"designed and made","id":"x39722"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1908-1909","earliest":"1908-05-29","latest":"1909-05-28"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""},{"date":{"text":"1908","earliest":"1908-01-01","latest":"1908-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Formerly in the collection of Charles and Lavinia Handley-Read.","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"30","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"1972","earliest":"1972-01-01","latest":"1972-12-31"},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"30","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"1972","earliest":"1972-01-01","latest":"1972-12-31"},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Dimensions taken from Metalwork registers","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"London hallmarks for 1908-09","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""},{"content":"Mark of Henry Wilson","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Chafing dish, cover and stand, London hallmarks for 1908-09, mark of Henry Wilson","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Simon Jervis ed.  <u>Victorian and Edwardian Decorative Art, The Handley Read Collection</u>, London, Royal Acaemy of Arts, 1972. pp. 101-102. ill.
