On offer is a rare Victorian sterling silver Eisteddfod trophy, fully hallmarked for London 1890 with the maker’s mark of William Gibson & John Langman. The cup is engraved in Welsh with the dedication from Captain Geoffrey Crawshay, presented for a male voice choir competition, and further inscribed “Eisteddfod Hendy Pontardulais”. Standing approximately 9 inches tall and weighing around 280 grams, it remains in good condition with no dents or repairs. A fine sterling silver Eisteddfod trophy representing both Welsh cultural heritage and the Crawshay family’s historic influence.

Captain Geoffrey Crawshay, a noted supporter of Welsh music and a member of the Gorsedd of Bards, was a descendant of the prominent industrial Crawshay family of Cyfarthfa Ironworks. His patronage of Welsh choirs and his cultural contributions place this trophy firmly within the history of late 19th- and early 20th-century Welsh artistic tradition. A significant and well-documented example of Victorian silver connected to Wales’s celebrated Eisteddfod tradition.
