An exceedingly rare opportunity to acquire an example of the much coveted Gresham ‘grasshopper’ rings
Arms believed to be those of Mark Warner, a cloth merchant and a member of the parish of All Hallows, Lombard Street, in the City of London
A gift of Sir Thomas Gresham (1519-1579)

English circa 1572-1575

Recently rediscovered, this is the seventh known example, three of which are in public collections. I have handled all of the rings held privately, to which this ring compares well.
