engraved inscription, while the other carries an engraved racecourse scene replete with an American flag at the finish line, centered around a cast appliqué of two galloping horses and their jockeys running neck and neck, with Madison in the lead. The body flows into a very narrow neck set above a stepped, rectangular foot with a strip of the same grapevine banding at the bottom. Its pouring lip is edged with an applied gadrooned band that ends in an even higher three-dimensional horse’s head crest. Made of hollow repoussé construction, the horse head details are applied, chased and engraved.

“The Madison Trophy is colossal, a work of silversmithing genius, and jaw-dropping to see. It will instantly grab and hold your attention,” said Erik Goldstein, senior curator of mechanical arts, metals and numismatics. “Nothing like it exists in the world of early 19th-century, Virginia-made silver, and it is unique in the collections of Colonial Williamsburg for many reasons.”

Wilkes, being “low and weak of body,” composed his estate plan in late 1814; he passed away the following year at the age of 57. Described in his will as “a silver Cupp won by a.m.EST.*

Madison,” the trophy went to his daughter, Mary “Polly” Wilkes, who saw fit to scratch variations of her initials into the underside of the foot. It seems the formal inscription was added years later and included the erroneous date, “Spring, 1811,” as shown by contemporary newspaper accounts. The trophy has been preserved in Virginia by Burwell Wilkes’ descendants since it was made.

The Madison Trophy was acquired through The Friends of Colonial Williamsburg Collections Fund, The Joseph H. and June S. Hennage Fund,

Mark S. Farnsworth, and a partial gift of the Family of Randolph Madison Jr. It is currently on view in the Chesapeake section of “A Rich and Varied Culture: The Material World of the Early South” located in the Nancy N. and Colin G. Campbell Gallery of the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum, one of the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg.
