About the Item
A 6 place silver canteen by Paul Storr. Double struck in the fiddle, thread & shell pattern with diamond and shell heel. Engraved with a crest to the terminals. (see pictures for details) The teaspoons are engraved with a 'B'.
Comprising: 6 table forks, 6 tablespoons, 6 dessert forks, 6 dessert spoons & 6 teaspoons.
Hallmarked for London by Paul Storr, dated between 1813 - 1817.
All the pieces are in very good condition, of excellent gauge and wonderful patina. Some rubbing to the marks.
Paul Storr is considered the greatest silversmith of the 19th century, and as such his work is highly sought-after and therefore very rare to find. Well proportioned and superbly made, this canteen features as one of the earliest examples of a fiddle thread and shell pattern canteen. A delightful addition to any collection.
Originating in about 1810, the fiddle thread and shell pattern has proved a very popular fiddle pattern and it is still being produced today. Aside from the slight variations found from individual makers die-stamps, there are three design variants: the most common diamond heel; the quite scarce Union shell heel; the rare thread heel.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a superb 6 place setting canteen by Paul Storr - the most important silversmith of the 19th century.
