PAIRED DOLPHIN SERVERS

This is an interesting design motif showing two intertwined dolphins.

paired dolphins silver spoon

This addorsed dolphin design motif can also be found in the drawing room of Queen Caroline at Windsor Castle

and other grand houses in England.

It took a lot of research, but I have finally been able to trace this motif to

the dolphins on the fontana del Nettuno, Piazza del Populo, Rome
