About the Item

John Wakelin & William Taylor pair of sterling silver open salts from 1783 in Georgian style with gilt wash bowls and in exquisite, geometric design. Each measures 3 2/3'' in length by 2 1/2'' in width by 2 1/4'' in height, and bears hallmarks as shown. The founder of the Garrard firm was John Wickes in 1722. From 1776 to 1792, John Wackelin & William Taylor directed the firm. In 1802 Robert Garrard Sr. took control of the firm. In 1818 he was succeeded by his three eldest sons. In 1952 the firm was amalgamated with Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co Ltd. Garrard merged with the prestigious jewelry firm Asprey in 1998 to become Asprey & Garrard. Garrard was crown jeweller since 1735 when George Wickes was appointed as goldsmith to the Prince of Wales. The 19th century continued with a succession of famous commissions for Royalty and in 1843 Queen Victoria bestowed the honour of Crown Jeweller on the company. Garrard has served six successive monarchs. These salts are sold with 2 sterling silver partially gilt spoons made in 1805 by William Eley I and William Fearn, London silversmiths established at Lovell's Court. This lot is accompanied by a John Wakelin & William Taylor 1786 sterling silver mustard pot in beautiful Georgian design, which is partially gilt inside. It measures 5'' in length by 2 3/4'' in width by 3'' in height.

By Paul Storr
Located in New York, NY
Pair of Paul Storr, English, sterling silver tureens or covered vegetable dishes, beautifully adorned with gadrooned rims, natural motifs, and a noble crest, from 1809 (George III era). They measure 14'' from handle to handle (10 1/2'' excluding the handles) by 11 1/2'' in height (height of the stands are 4 3/4''). Total silver weight is 93 troy ounces; the stands and the liners are original Sheffield plate. Hallmarks are shown. Paul Storr (1770-1844) is considered the greatest English silversmith of the Regency era, and his beautifully ornate silver reflected the rapidly changing world in which he lived. Storr's reputation rests on his mastery of the grandiose neo-Classical style developed in the Regency period. He quickly became the most prominent silversmith of the nineteenth century, producing much of the silver purchased by King George III and King George IV. Much of Storr's success was due to the influence of Philip...
